Tue Apr 29 03:20:00 UTC 2025: **Warriors’ Jimmy Butler Returns for Game 4 Against Rockets**
SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler will return to the lineup for Game 4 of their Western Conference playoff series against the Houston Rockets on Monday night. Butler, who suffered a pelvic and deep gluteal muscle contusion in Game 2, was listed as questionable but participated in a light workout this morning and is now confirmed as a starter.
The injury limited Butler to just eight minutes in Game 2, a 109-94 loss in Houston. The Warriors, however, managed to win Game 3, 104-93, without him, fueled by Stephen Curry’s 36-point performance. Golden State currently holds a 2-1 series lead. Butler’s return is a significant boost for the Warriors as they look to close out the series.
