Jimmy Butler Injury Report: Will the Warriors' Star Forward Play Tonight Against the Bucks?

The Golden State Warriors will take on the Milwaukee Bucks tonight at the Chase Center. Given both teams will be coming off on the back of a loss, a cracker of a game is expected to take place. The Bucks will be riding on the unstoppable force, i.e., Giannis Antetokounmpo and as for the Warriors, the duo of Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler will have to face the music and shine. A month and a half ago, the Warriors were limping for support and the arrival of Butler from the Miami Heat changed the fortunes of the team. GSW began piling up wins and have emerged victorious in 12 of their last 15 games. Monday's loss against the Nuggets came as a hard pill to swallow and it will be a challenge for them to bounce back. As the Bucks possess explosive firepower, the onus will be on Curry and Butler to rescue the side. As a lot will depend on how Jimmy Butler will play tonight, it is imperative to take a look at the Golden State Warriors injury report to figure out his status for the game.
