Steve Kerr Makes Jimmy Butler Announcement Before Warriors-Hornets…

The Golden State Warriors are fresh off an unfortunate road loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. In the midst of a five-game road trip, an unfortunate loss was bound to happen, and that’s exactly what took place as the Jimmy Butler-less Warriors took on a struggling 76ers squad. The star forward missed the contest with a back injury, which instantly made Warriors fans keep an eye on the reason for his absence. Since Butler’s arrival to the Bay Area, the club has posted a 7-1 record with him on the floor and a 7-2 record overall. Golden State has ascended in the West since the trade deadline, so a potential Butler injury was a bit worrisome. However, after one missed game, Butler was listed as “probable” on the injury report. Averaging 16.4 points in 30.1 minutes per game in eight appearances, the star forward has made a winning impact all around since suiting up in a Warriors jersey. Ahead of the team’s

matchup against the Charlotte Hornets, the team’s third game of the five-game trip, Golden State head coach Steve Kerr made a Butler announcement.

The Warriors are going to benefit from having the two aforementioned players available, as they both make quite an impact in the lineup. Stephen Curry, in particular, will enjoy having another player with solid on-ball gravity on the floor to take the pressure off himself

Warriors provide injury update on key pair ahead of Hornets matchup..

The star forward could return…

he Golden State Warriors could regain star forward Jimmy Butler for their matchup against the Charlotte Hornets on Monday, with the 35-year-old having missed his first game on Saturday since his arrival in early February.

Butler was desperately missed in a 126-119 loss to the embattled Philadelphia 76ers, particularly in the non-Stephen Curry minutes during the first-half where the Warriors were crucially outscored by 14.

Jimmy Butler could return for the Warriors on Monday
Butler has been listed as probable to face Charlotte at Spectrum Center, with impressive rookie big Quinten Post also probable after suffering a minor ankle injury against the 76ers. Post has become a key part of Steve Kerr’s rotation, having been Golden State’s second-leading scorer behind Curry in each of the past two games.

The seven-foot Dutchman had another four threes and 16 points to go with nine rebounds on Saturday, but turned his ankle slightly during a play in the third-quarter. Post continued to play on through the injury, yet was benched over the final 8:37 in the fourth-quarter as the Warriors were unable to complete a comeback.

While Butler and Post may be good to go, Jonathan Kuminga remains out despite initial belief that he could return from a long-term ankle injury against the Hornets. ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on Saturday that Golden State are considering keeping Kuminga out for the remainder of the road-trip, meaning the 22-year-old’s return may have to wait till Saturday’s game against the Detroit Pistons at Chase Center.

Charlotte have a trio of players probable themselves, including starting forward Miles Bridges and notable shooter Seth Curry. Golden State obliterated them on Tuesday at Chase Center, with the 128-92 victory succumbing the Hornets to the worst three-game span in NBA history.

The Warriors had seven players in double-figure scoring in that game, but the Hornets were without All-Star guard LaMelo Ball who is sure to make the hosts a far more dangerous threat this time around.
