He’s back! Heading into tonight’s Rockets clash, there was major uncertainty around Jimmy Butler’s availability. Reason? The pelvis and deep muscle contusion he suffered in Game 2. However, Steve Kerr’s pregame comments gave Dub Nation hope, “I think there’s a much more reasonable chance for him to play than the other night.” Soon after, Jimmy’s status was upgraded from questionable to available, confirming his return. But is he truly his 100% – or have the Warriors risked his health by rushing his comeback?
Well, Jimmy was seemingly struggling as he took on the court. During one of the plays early in the game, he pump faked Alperen Sengun and attempted a tough fadeaway shot falling away from the basket. He missed. And TNT’s on-air announcer Reggie Miller noticed a concerning detail. “Oh, I don’t like how Jimmy is running here. He’s still kind of grimacing on his way back down the floor there.” He said on Live TV.
Yes, it looked like the injury was still bothering Jimmy as he seemed slow in his step.
