Jimmy Butler participated fully in Monday’s shootaround session and is on track to suit up for the Golden State Warriors in their crucial Game 4 matchup against the Houston Rockets.
The Warriors hold a 2-1 advantage in the series and aim to strengthen their position with another win.
Despite battling a significant injury, Butler is making every effort to be available for the game.
“Jimmy Butler is doing everything possible to try to play tonight in Game 4,” reported Shams Charania during an appearance on NBA Today.
“They’re optimistic he will be able to play,” Charania added, signaling growing confidence within the organization regarding Butler’s status.
Butler’s setback occurred during the first half of Game 2, when he sustained a deep contusion to his glute muscle.
Since then, he has struggled not only with the pain from the injury but also with restricted mobility, making his recovery especially challenging.
