ESPN's Stephen A. Smith didn't hold back when suggesting what Butler's job must be without Curry in the lineup. "Jimmy Butler has got to be good for a game," Smith said. "You got to get a game without Steph Curry. That's Jimmy Butler's job. That's what you got him here for.

WNBA star Cameron Brink recently sent a loud message regarding Golden State Warriors players Buddy Hield and Jimmy Butler amid their playoff run.

The Golden State Warriors rode their superstar Steph Curry to a 10-point lead in the first half of Tuesday night’s 99-88 win against the Timberwolves. Now their ability to play without him after an injury might dictate the rest of the series.

Green fouled out with a little more than four and a half minutes remaining in the fourth quarter after challenging Minnesota's Jaden McDaniels at the rim. Golden State was down two points, 84-82, at the time. The Warriors ended up losing the remainder of the game by three total points, falling 102-97 and dropping into a 2-1 deficit in the series.
