The Warriors announced Friday that Butler has been diagnosed with a left pelvic and deep gluteal muscle contusion and will be listed as questionable Saturday for Game 3 of the team's first-round playoff series matchup with the Rockets.

Butler left Game 2 with 1:51 remaining in the first quarter after being undercut by Amen Thompsonand falling hard to the court, but he seems to have avoided a long-term injury. However, if Butler is forced to miss Game 3, Jonathan Kuminga -- who had been out of the rotation for Game 1 but played 26 minutes following Butler's departure in Game 2 -- would likely be in store for an elevated role once again.
