Jimmy Butler is not expected to suit up for Wednesday's game against the Heat, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. While the Warriors officially list him as questionable on the injury report, the reporting suggests he is unlikely to play through his back issue. (Shams Charania)
Fantasy Impact:
Golden State is already facing a significant shortage of available players, with Stephen Curry (ankle), Al Horford (rest), and Jonathan Kuminga (knees) ruled out, and Draymond Green (illness) considered very iffy. Given the circumstances, it seems improbable that the team would push Butler to play if he is not fully healthy. In his expected absence, Will Richard, Gui Santos, Gary Payton, and Pat Spencer will likely be called upon to step into larger roles.
