Butler, who is now in danger of missing Game 4 on Monday as well, took to social media shortly after the win. In his first post since sitting out of the contest due to injury, the 35-year-old sent a message of appreciation for his squad – except for one teammate.

Butler averaged 17.9 points, 5.9 assists and 5.5 rebounds in 30 regular season games for the Warriors after coming over in a deadline trade from the Miami Heat. He scored 25 points in Golden State's Game 1 victory and had chipped in three points before exiting Wednesday's matchup.

The Golden State Warriors got some encouraging news on Jimmy Butler from someone who should know -- Stephen Curry -- as their Western Conference first-round playoff series against the Houston Rockets shifts to San Francisco for Game 3 on Saturday night.
