Questionable for Thursday Butler is questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers due to left knee soreness.

Impact After leaving Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Butler has a chance to avoid missing more time with the issue. Should the star forward be sidelined, Moses Moody and Buddy Hield would both be positioned for a rise in minutes.

Impact Butler entered Tuesday's game dealing with a glute contusion, and he's also battled ankle and back soreness earlier this season. With Stephen Curry (quad) also sidelined for at least a few more games, the Warriors need all they can get out of Butler, who's averaging 19.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.6 steals in 30.9 minutes per game.

Won't return Tuesday Butler won't return to Tuesday's game against the Thunder due to left knee soreness.

Impact Butler exited to the locker room in the second quarter and briefly returned to the hardwood before halftime. However, the star forward didn't start the second half and was eventually ruled out for the remainder of the game. He'll finish with six points (2-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one assist across 15 minutes. With Butler sidelined, Gary Payton, Jonathan Kuminga and Seth Curry are candidates for increased playing time the rest of the way.

Impact Butler sustained the apparent ankle injury in the second quarter but was able to return to the game shortly thereafter. However, Gary Payton started the second half in Butler's place, and the latter should be considered questionable to return. If the star forward is unable to check back in, Payton, Jonathan Kuminga and Seth Curry are candidates for increased minutes.

Returns Tuesday Butler (undisclosed) returned to Tuesday's game against the Thunder with 1:57 remaining in the second quarter, per the broadcast.

Impact Butler exited to the locker room earlier in the period but returned to the bench shortly thereafter before checking back in. The star forward is playing through a gluteal contusion, though he appears to be good to go for the remainder of the game after returning to the hardwood.

Leaves for locker room Butler (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the second quarter of Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Danny Emerman of SFStandard.com reports.

Impact It's unclear why Butler headed to the back, though he was initially listed as questionable due to a gluteal contusion before being cleared to play. He can be considered questionable to return. If the star forward is unable to check back in, Jonathan Kuminga, Gary Payton and Seth Curry are candidates for increased playing time the rest of the way.

Will play Tuesday Butler (gluteal contusion) is good to go for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Butler was able to get through his pregame routine without issue, so he'll be out there, and he'll be operating as the main man on offense with Stephen Curry (quad) unavailable. Make sure you've got Butler active.

Expected to play Tuesday Head coach Steve Kerr relayed that he expects Butler (lower body) to be available for Tuesday night's game against the Thunder, Anthony Slater of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Butler sustained a left gluteal contusion during the Warriors' win over the Pelicans on Sunday. The veteran forward was tagged as questionable for Tuesday's game due to the injury, but he is trending toward playing in a fifth consecutive game. Across 13 games in November, Butler averaged 19.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.9 steals over 30.9 minutes per game.

Questionable for Tuesday Butler is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder due to a left gluteal contusion.

Impact Butler took a tough spill during Saturday's win over the Pelicans, and while he said after the game that he was hopeful for Tuesday's matchup with the Thunder, it appears his backside is still giving him some trouble. He'll likely be a game-time call Tuesday night, but if he's not able to give it a go, Jonathan Kuminga could be asked to step into a big role as a starter.

Comes close to triple-double Butler ended Saturday's 104-96 win over the Pelicans with 24 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-14 FT), eight rebounds and 10 assists in 37 minutes.

Impact Butler had to embrace a bigger role on offense due to the absence of Stephen Curry (quadriceps) and fully delivered, leading the team in scoring and assists while finishing just two boards shy of a double-double. Butler proved he's more than capable of carrying the Wizards if needed, and he should experience a sizable uptick in usage rate -- and thus, in numbers -- as long as Curry remains out. That should be the case as well when the Warriors take on the Thunder on Tuesday, another game in which Butler figures to have a high usage rate.

Drops team-high 21 in loss Butler accumulated 21 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 104-100 loss to the Rockets.

Impact The 21 points led the Warriors on the night, as Butler scored at least 20 points for the sixth time in his last nine games. The veteran forward is averaging 21.3 points, 6.1 boards, 5.4 assists, 2.3 steals and 0.9 threes over that stretch, but his usage could be about to spike if Stephen Curry (quadriceps) misses significant time after exiting Wednesday's loss in the fourth quarter.
