Jimmy Butler has been diagnosed with a deep glute muscle contusion following an MRI, sources told ESPN. Butler suffered the injury in the first half of Game 2.

Butler's status for the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 against the Houston Rockets is in serious jeopardy, though the diagnosis represents the best-case scenario as the examination revealed no fracture or structural damage.

The Warriors and Rockets are tied at 1-1 in their first round series.

I am not a doctor but that doesn't sound good.. Obviously it sounds painful could he play with pain injections maybe but you would think at risk of further damage and your going to do this till the finals. This sounds like a rest 4 weeks thing.. Once again complete guess work as not a doctor..
