Golden State Warriors star Jimmy Butler suffered a pelvic contusion after exiting the club's Game 2 loss to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, clouding his status for Saturday's Game 3 while also sparking outrage among fans who believed a dirty play from Rockets forward Amen Thompson contributed to the injury.
On Thursday, the day Butler was slated to undergo an MRI, the Warriors star's camp sent a cryptic message about his injury to ESPN NBA reporter Marc J. Spears.
