The agent for Golden State Warriors star Jimmy Butler remained vague when addressing his client's status for Game 3 against the Houston Rockets. Andscape's Marc J. Spears relayed a text message from Bernie Lee saying, "Pray for the bear," in reference to his client:

The Warriors are now awaiting the results of an MRI on Butler's injury. As such, fans will likely be preparing for the team to proceed without the All-Star forward in the rotation

Butler suffered a hard fall in Game 2 against the Rockets and his status for the rest of the series is to be determined.
