Latest Update on Injury Status"},"content":{"rendered":"

Golden State Warriors star Jimmy Butler has been ruled out for Thursday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers amid recovery from a knee injury suffered in Tuesday’s loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, per ESPN’s Anthony Slater<\/a>. <\/p>\n

That said, the Warriors might have dodged a bullet on Butler’s injury as Slater<\/a> reported Wednesday that “his knee injury isn’t believed to be serious.”<\/p>\n

“His status for Thursday’s game in Philadelphia is to be determined, but Butler shouldn’t miss much (if any) time,” Slater said.<\/p>\n

Butler only played in the first half against OKC. He had six points, three assists and one rebound in 15 minutes on the floor.<\/p>\n

Despite the fact they were also missing Stephen Curry, the Warriors outscored the Thunder 68-61 in the second half, but that wasn’t enough to make up for their slow start.<\/p>\n

While Golden State received good news on Butler, head coach Steve Kerr confirmed<\/a> Curry won’t be with the team for its upcoming three-game road trip. The earliest he’ll return is a Dec. 12 meeting with the Minnesota Timberwolves.<\/p>\n

On Nov. 11, the Warriors lost to the Thunder by 24 points, a result that dropped them to .500 for the season. They bounced back the following night to beat the San Antonio Spurs, and the players pointed to some candid conversations<\/a> behind the scenes as having a positive effect.<\/p>\n

Yet, here Golden State is, once again sitting at .500 (11-11) on the heels of a double-digit defeat to Oklahoma City.<\/p>\n

Things might get worse before they get better because the 76ers, Cleveland Cavaliers and Chicago Bulls could all be tricky opponents when the Warriors are without their best player.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Golden State Warriors star Jimmy Butler has been ruled out for Thursday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers amid…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":453823,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3769],"tags":[679,7,6,678,207,3817],"class_list":{"0":"post-453822","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-philadelphia-76ers","8":"tag-76ers","9":"tag-basketball","10":"tag-nba","11":"tag-philadelphia","12":"tag-philadelphia-76ers","13":"tag-philadelphia76ers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115663358390031788","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=453822"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/453822\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/453823"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=453822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=453822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=453822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
