Warriors' Jimmy Butler Set for Game 4 Comeback Against Rockets

Golden State Warriors’ forward, Jimmy Butler, is all set to make a comeback on Monday night for Game 4 against the Houston Rockets, as confirmed by the team. Butler is deemed fit to play and has been named in the starting lineup. He took part in a gentle walkthrough during the team’s shootaround on Monday morning. Previously, Butler was marked as questionable owing to a pelvic and deep gluteal muscle contusion. The injury occurred late in the first quarter of Game 2. With his playtime limited to a mere eight minutes, the Warriors went on to lose that match in Houston, scoring 109 against the Rockets’ 94.

During Butler’s absence on Saturday, Stephen Curry stepped up for the Warriors with a stellar performance of 36 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds, steering Golden State to a 104-93 victory in Game 3. The Warriors currently lead the best-of-7 series with a 2-1 advantage.
