Warriors reportedly expect Jimmy Butler back from injury for Game 4 vs. Rockets

SAN FRANCISCO – Warriors star Jimmy Butler is reportedly expected to play in Monday night’s Game 4 against the Houston Rockets.

Butler is listed as questionable with a pelvic contusion, but he and the Warriors expect him to return, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania, after he missed Saturday’s Game 3. He participated fully in the morning shootaround, Charania reported.

Butler was hurt in the first quarter of Game 2 when he landed hard on his backside after leaping for a rebound and being undercut by Houston’s Amen Thompson.
