The Warriors have been on fire since acquiring Jimmy Butler. They have won seven of their last eight games and jumped all the way to the seventh seed in the West standings. Hoping to continue their momentum and increase the gap between them and the teams behind, they will go head-to-head against the Sixers tonight. But that could prove to be a difficult challenge for the Bay Area franchise because they will be playing without Butler for the first time since the trade.
Yes, Jimmy will not suit up tonight. The reason? Back spasms. Well, this is Butler’s first missed game since joining the Warriors.
Jimmy Butler is out tonight in Philadelphia. Back spasms.
