Since Jimmy Butler joined the Golden State Warriors, the team has found its rhythm midway through the season. His presence energized the roster and brought a fresh dynamic to the court. Even when he was unavailable for the Warriors’ recent game against the Philadelphia 76ers, which ended in a 126-119 loss, many believed his presence could have changed the outcome.
The Warriors are set to face the Charlotte Hornets on Monday. Ahead of the game, they have released their injury report. Butler is listed as probable due to back spasms. This news comes as he continues to adjust to his new team while playing in a Warriors jersey. Butler’s performance in those games highlights his eagerness to move on from the Miami Heat and embrace a fresh start.
The Warriors’ injury report also includes Quinten Post and Jonathan Kuminga. Post is listed as probable with an ankle sprain, while Kuminga is ruled out due to an ankle injury.
As for the Hornets , Miles Bridges (illness), Seth Curry (low back), and Wendell Moore (concussion protocol) are all listed as questionable. Meanwhile, Tre Mann (disc), Brandon Miller, Josh Okogie (left hamstring), and Grant Williams have been ruled out.
