Is Jimmy Butler Injured? National Reporter Confirms Worrying Status Ahead of Timberwolves Game 5

Jimmy Butler’s Game 5 status has become a hot topic after a sluggish Game 4 outing that left fans scratching their heads. The Golden State Warriors forward, known for his postseason dominance, scored just 14 points on nine shots in the loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves — a performance well below his usual playoff standard. Now, national reporter Dalton Johnson has confirmed what many suspected: Butler has been dealing with an illness.

According to Johnson, Butler’s name never appeared on the official injury report, but Draymond Green said post-game that Butler was feeling “pretty crappy,” and further remarked “I know he’s not feeling well”. The six-time All-Star also skipped his usual post-game media session, fueling further speculation.

Warriors’ head coach Steve Kerr addressed the concern, saying, “Everyone knows who Jimmy is… I expect him to have a big game tomorrow.” With Stephen Curry still sidelined and Golden State down 3–1 in the series, the Warriors desperately need a vintage Butler performance in Game 5.
