As the Golden State Warriors get set to host a pivotal Game 3 against the Houston Rockets on Saturday, they’ll be without Jimmy Butler, ESPN’s Shams Charania reported ahead of the game.

The trade-deadline acquisition entered the day listed as questionable due to a pelvis and deep gluteal muscle contusion.

Butler suffered the injury after taking a hard fall in the first quarter of the Warriors’ Game 2 loss on Wednesday. He jumped up for a rebound after an Amen Thompson shot attempt but was undercut by the Rockets’ sophomore, who got tangled up with Draymond Green while trying to collect his own miss and subsequently fell into Butler.

Houston’s Dillon Brooks on Friday defended Thompson for playing fairly and instead said, “I think the dirty player is Draymond (Green).”

Butler stayed down and was in visible pain for a bit of time before leaving the game for good. The 35-year-old finished the contest with just three points and two rebounds in just under eight minutes of action.

There’s no denying the six-time All-Star’s impact on not just the first-round series, but the Warriors’ post-season hopes as a whole. In Golden State’s Game 1 road win over Houston, Butler put up 25 points on 10-of-19 shooting to go with seven rebounds, six assists and five steals in 42 minutes of action.

The Warriors are 25-9 since Butler made his debut for the team on Feb. 8. Through 30 regular-season games with the team, the five-time All-NBAer has averaged 17.9 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.7 steals.

Golden State and Houston enter Game 3 of their first-round series knotted up at 1-1.
