There was bad news from the Warriors before the first round of the NBA Western Conference playoffs G3, and Butler G3 was confirmed to be sidelined

The Warriors and Rockets drew 1:1 in the first round of the NBA Western Conference playoffs, but the Golden State Army had bad news before the G3 game on the 27th, Beijing time.

Butler

Butler fell his hip in the first round of the playoffs G2 and underwent an MRI on the 25th, which found no structural damage, but there were pelvic and deep hip muscle contusions. On the 26th, Warriors head coach Cole said that he thinks Butler G3 has a chance to play.

However, today the Warriors announced before the game that Butler will definitely be absent from G3. Since Butler joined the Warriors on Feb. 8, he has helped the team win 25-9 in the regular season, play-in and playoffs, and can be regarded as a key figure in turning the Warriors' fortunes around. Now on the sidelines, there is a huge uncertainty for the Warriors to snatch the series lead.
