With Stephen Curry sidelined by a quad injury sustained against the Houston Rockets last week, the Golden State Warriors will go in significant underdogs against the all-conquering Oklahoma City Thunder at Chase Center on Tuesday night.
Yet any hope the Warriors do have may already be over if fellow veteran star Jimmy Butler is also ruled out. The 6x All-Star had a scary fall when he was undercut during Saturday night's win over the New Orleans Pelicans, but played on and ultimately proved the biggest factor in the game with 24 points, eight rebounds and 10 assists.
Jimmy Butler is questionable to face the Thunder on Tuesday night
While Butler did look free in his movements during the final minutes of that game, the 36-year-old has been listed as questionable to face the Thunder with what Golden State are labelling as a left glute contusion.
