The Golden State Warriors will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves tonight in Game 5 of the Round 2 playoff series. The Timberwolves are 3-1 up in the series, and one more win will make them the winner of the contest. Thus, the onus lies with the Warriors to fight for their survival and push the series to Game 6. If the task of coming back from 3-1 was not daunting already, they would have to pull off the monumental task in the absence of their flagbearer, Stephen Curry. With Curry gone, the responsibility will fall on to Jimmy Butler. The forward has stood up to deliver his best in the series, but so far, it has not reaped ideal dividends. However, he will have one more chance to rescue his team tonight. As the attention will be on him, it is imperative to note whether Jimmy Butler will play tonight or not. Let's take a look at the Golden State Warriors injury report to know whether Jimmy Butler will play tonight or not.
