Golden State Warriors fans have reason to be excited as star forward Jimmy Butler is expected to make his return in Game 4 against the Houston Rockets. Butler, who has been dealing with a pelvic and deep gluteal muscle contusion injury, has been pushing hard to get back on the court, participating in a light walkthrough and receiving treatment. His absence was felt in Game 2, but the Warriors managed to bounce back in Game 3 behind a stellar performance from Stephen Curry. Despite their success without Butler, the team knows they need him for their championship aspirations.
Curry expressed confidence in his team's ability to step up in Butler's absence if necessary, highlighting a newfound belief and next-man-up mentality within the squad. The Warriors currently hold a 2-1 lead in the series and are looking to secure 14 more wins to claim another championship. With Butler's potential return looming, Golden State remains focused on the task at hand and is eager to have their star forward back on the court to bolster their chances of success in the playoffs.
