The Golden State Warriors will reportedly have one of their key starters back on the floor Monday. Jimmy Butler, who has been out with a pelvic contusion, will play in Game 4 on Monday night as the Warriors take on the Houston Rockets, per NBA insider Chris Haynes.
Butler suffered the injury during Game 2 of the series last Wednesday after landing hard on his tailbone after a collision with Rockets guard Amen Thompson. He eventually left the court and headed to the locker room, where he was ruled out for the rest of the game.
Though he did not end up with a fracture, Butler was still ruled out of Game 3 as a result of the injury, described as deep glute muscle contusion. The Warriors went on to win the game without Butler, defeating Houston 104-93.
