Jimmy Butler III (pelvis) is good to go for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Houston Rockets. According to Anthony Slater of The Athletic, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr told reporters during his pregame press conference that Butler is "doing fine" and is "ready to play." The Warriors have listed the veteran forward as probable on the injury report. Kerr's remarks indicate that he will be upgraded to available before tip-off. Despite dealing with a pelvic contusion, Butler III delivered a high-level performance in Game 4 and is expected to do the same on Wednesday night, as the Warriors aim to close out the series.

Jimmy Butler III (pelvis) is listed as probable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Houston Rockets. The veteran star missed Game 3 of the series due to a pelvic contusion but returned for Monday's Game 4, and it appears the Warriors will have Butler III available on Wednesday night. Butler III moved a bit gingerly at times on Monday, but the pelvic injury did not affect his performance, as the six-time All-Star led the Warriors with 27 points, adding five rebounds, six assists, and one block in 40 minutes.

Jimmy Butler III netted a team-high 27 points on 7-for-12 shooting in Monday's 109-106 win over the Houston Rockets. After returning to the lineup from a pelvic contusion, Butler needed some time to get going, scoring only four points in the first quarter. But he turned out to be a key figure in the contest, finishing 12-for-12 from the free-throw line and picking up five rebounds, six assists, and one block with zero turnovers in 40 minutes. With Playoff Jimmy in top form, the Warriors are well-placed to end the series in five games on Wednesday.

Jimmy Butler III (pelvis) is officially active for Monday's meeting with the Rockets. He also won't be on a minutes restriction. The veteran had 25 points and five steals in Game 1. Yet, he suffered a pelvic contusion the following contest, limiting him to only seven minutes and keeping him off the floor for Game 3. With Butler back in the lineup,
Jonathan Kuminga will likely head back to the bench, possibly even falling out of the rotation altogether.
