Butler averaged 17.9 points, 5.9 assists and 5.5 rebounds in 30 regular season games for the Warriors after coming over in a deadline trade from the Miami Heat. He scored 25 points in Golden State's Game 1 victory and had chipped in three points before exiting Wednesday's matchup.

After Wednesday's game, Warriors coach Steve Kerr declined to speculate on who would fill Butler's spot in the lineup if he were unavailable for Game 3 – though he did concede, "If Jimmy's out, we have to rethink everything."

Warriors forward Jimmy Butler is listed as questionable for Game 3 of Golden State’s first-round playoff series against the Houston Rockets after he sustained a pelvic contusion in a frightening fall during Game 2.
