“THE MOMENT WHEN STEVE KERR SAID ONE SENTENCE THAT MADE THE WARRIORS QUIET — AND THE AUDIENCE WAS TERRIFIED, NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.” In the moment when the noise in the arena suddenly dropped as if someone had just tightened the volume, Steve Kerr’s face twitched before he straightened up and said something the team had been avoiding, while Jimmy Butler lay clutching his leg with heavy breathing and Stephen Curry was absent at the worst possible moment, and then, amid a thick atmosphere of bewildered looks and half-whispers, Kerr suddenly declared the Warriors had reached their limit like a ship about to break — but what he didn’t say was what chilled the arena, because no one knew what would actually happen when the storm began to change direction.

Warriors hold their breath: Jimmy Butler gets injured while Stephen Curry is absent

After Stephen Curry’s injury, the Warriors have another worry about Jimmy Butler’s condition, as coach Steve Kerr revealed the star was sore all over after a hard fall.

The Golden State Warriors are short of players who could be in more trouble. With Stephen Curry injured, the Golden State Warriors are in a tricky situation right now, especially considering their early season struggles.

In addition to Curry, Draymond Green is reportedly playing through an injury. As a result, the burden of leading the team falls on Jimmy Butler. However, Dub Nation may be in for another heartbreaking development, this time involving Butler.

Jimmy Butler Takes a Hard Fall Against the New Orleans Pelicans

In the Warriors’ recent game against the New Orleans Pelicans, Butler took a hard fall to the floor in the second quarter. Butler tried to get up immediately, but was clearly in pain and limped when he finally got up.

The incident occurred when Butler was attempting an alley-oop shot while being defended by Pelicans’ Micah Peavy. Butler finished the game with 24 points, 8 rebounds, and 10 assists. This helped the Dubs register a crucial 104-96 win over the Pelicans.

Steve Kerr’s Update on Jimmy Butler Could Spell Trouble for Golden State Warriors

Butler’s double-double performance was deservedly applauded, but most of Dub Nation is waiting for an update on his status for future games. After the game, head coach Steve Kerr gave a worrying update on the 36-year-old in his press conference.

“I’m sure he’ll be sore tomorrow. I asked him when it happened, and I said, ‘Where is it?’ And he said, ‘Everywhere,’” Kerr told reporters. The Warriors coach tried to lighten the mood by joking: “I said, ‘Me too. I’m 60 years old, I’m supposed to be sore.’”

The Golden State Warriors captain later praised Butler’s performance against the Pelicans, and there was no further update on his injury status.

With the Warriors not playing for the next few days, that should give Jimmy some rest. But the worst-case scenario would be losing both Butler and Curry for an extended period in what has already been a mediocre start to the season.
