Good news that it’s coming from him .. he knows what he’s talking about. But of course, they still need an MRI to confirm everything. Based on how it looks though, it seems like Butler might be able to return this season. I’m really hoping for that, especially since I bet on the Warriors to win the series.
But honestly, even if he doesn’t come back, I’m still confident. Maybe they’ll finally start using Kuminga again.
Jimmy Butler is way better than Kuminga but they don’t have choice than to use him if Butler will be out for this playoffs.
Kuminga has no defense and play a lot of error especially on crucial on time in contrary with Butler that is reliable when needed on crucial time.
I’m not putting hope that GSW will advance many rounds on this playoffs without Jimmy because it’s proven that they are not playing well during regular season with this same line-up.
But Kerr needs Kuminga right now since Butler will be out for a couple of games. If I remember correctly, Curry has this similar fall before the end of the regular season and he has missed multiple games. So now it's about time that Kuminga needs to see some action to help the Warriors.
The good thing is that they are going to play in their homecourt so they needed that. Fans behind them and egging them to win again. And just like what others have said, we can only hope that Jimmy will be alright and just needed some time to rest.
