The Golden State Warriors have suffered a major blow ahead of their clash with the Houston Rockets on April 26 with the news that Jimmy Butler is out of action for Game 3.
The 35-year-old sustained a pelvic contusion during the Game 2 defeat (109-94) on Thursday and subsequently left the game early, having posted just eight minutes of action at the Toyota Center.
Now the veteran forward, who previously played for the Miami Heat, is likely to be out of commission for the pivotal clash on April 26 as the Warriors bid to take the lead of the series; as per Shams Charania.
“Golden State’s Jimmy Butler has been diagnosed with a deep glute muscle contusion,” Charania, the lead NBA insider, said. “And his status for Game 3 against the Houston Rockets is in serious jeopardy, league sources tell ESPN.
“This is best case because MRI showed Butler avoided any fracture or structural damage.”
The small forward has averaged 17.5 points, 5.4 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game in his debut year at the Chase Center, and has complimented Steph Curry perfectly thus far.
His addition has contributed to the 37-year-old’s resurgence in the NBA MVP conversations with Curry putting up 24.5 points, six assists and 4.4 rebounds per game. Together, the pair led the Warriors to seventh in the Western Conference with 48 wins.
What time is Warriors vs Rockets Game 3?
The Warriors will take on the Rockets on Saturday, April 25 as both sides look to tee up a clash with the Los Angeles Lakers or Minnesota Timberwolves in the Second Round.
The game will tip-off at 20:30 ET/17:30 PT at the Chase Center in San Francisco as Golden State head home.

Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce’s happiness is not complete as they encounter the first problem in their shared business
Earlier this year, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce opened 1587 Prime, a sleek steakhouse meant to combine high-end dining with local flair. The project was launched in partnership with hospitality group Noble 33 and celebrated as a statement of ambition, the kind of restaurant meant to reflect Mahomes' competitive drive and Kelce's charisma.Chiefs make Kansas City fans nostalgic with a unique videoThe debut couldn't have been more glamorous. The grand opening doubled as Mahomes' 30th birthday celebration and drew an A-list crowd, from Taylor Swift and Kane Brown to Brittany Mahomes, eager to see what the city's biggest stars had created. For weeks, it looked like the restaurant had struck the right tone: part luxury, part Kansas City pride. Then came a photo that changed the conversation entirely.On review platforms, the response is divided. Google currently lists the restaurant at […]
Is Nebraska’s no-show against Minnesota sign of deeper problem? Answer is up to Matt Rhule
LINCOLN, Neb. — This week at Nebraska has produced a list of questions and concerns in the wake of the Huskers’ showing against Minnesota.For instance:• In what scenario is it reasonable to accept that some Nebraska assistant coaches and players failed to take seriously, as coach Matt Rhule said, a Minnesota team that had won five consecutive games in this series before the Gophers’ 24-6 victory Friday?Advertisement• How could so much go wrong immediately for Nebraska after it reached a high point of success to date under Rhule with consecutive comeback wins in the fourth quarter?• Why were the offensive and defensive game plans out of alignment with Rhule’s vision of the style required against Minnesota?Rhule laid it out in plain terms as he’s not done at Nebraska in three seasons.“We completely failed,” he said.He called out the poor pass […]
Are the Dodgers 4 wins away from a dynasty? ‘We have an opportunity to do that’
History surrounds these Los Angeles Dodgers. You don’t craft a roster with this many Hall of Famers without acknowledging it. You don’t establish a golden era of franchise history without seeking it. You don’t spend this much money on payroll without craving it.You don’t get this far — back to the World Series — without embracing it.AdvertisementThe desire to become baseball’s first repeat champions in a quarter century, to bring home the Commissioner’s Trophy for the third time in the past six years, is an unspoken part of everything.In fact, manager Dave Roberts avoids talking about legacy and dynasty.“A lot of that I feel is meant for other people that aren’t playing,” Roberts said. “Let them have those debates. It’s our job to kind of put those topics on the table and we have an opportunity to do that.”Sometimes, the […]
These Clippers are deep, so Tyronn Lue has some hard decisions to make
The LA Clippers begin the 2025-26 NBA regular season with three things that every team needs if they want to be the last team standing in eight months: They’re healthy, they’re talented, and they’re deep.Yes, the Clippers are old. And yes, their franchise player will have the threat of the Aspiration scandal and the consequences of the league’s investigation at a date to be determined later.AdvertisementBut for right now, when Kawhi Leonard sees his team, it is arguably the best group he has had since he missed the 2021 Western Conference Finals due to his ACL injury.“Going back to ’21, we had a great playoff push going into that semifinals, I thought we had a real good group of talent,” Leonard said this month when I asked him if this was the most accountable and most focused Clippers training camp […]
