Jimmy Butler leaves Tuesday’s game against the Suns with a strained back
The Golden State Warriors absorbed a hard hit in his game against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday at the Chase Center after Jimmy Butler was forced to leave after the first half.
The Warriors started strong, outscoring the Suns 33-19 in the first quarter. But Butler, who was included on the injury report before the competition, he looked uncomfortable on the floor. He tried to play, but could not continue after the break.
According to ClutchPoints Brett Siegel, Butler suffered lower back pain and will not return against the Sun.
Golden State led Phoenix 68-49 at halftime.
Butler finished the night with two points, four rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes.
The All-Star forward has dealt with a variety of injuries in recent years and it would be a shame if he was sidelined for much longer.
The 36-year-old Butler has not missed a single game this season. Many have noticed, however, that his mileage has started to catch up with him over the years. He hasn’t played a full season since his sophomore year.
The Warriors, who are 3-0 at home, are looking to end their two-game losing streak.
