Elsewhere in the building was Kevin Durant, the one-time Warriors megastar who has missed the past four games with an ankle injury. His team, the Suns, has lost seven consecutive games, playoff elimination all but a certainty.

Golden State Warriors star Jimmy Butler couldn’t stay on the court on Wednesday for Game 2 of their first-round series against the Houston Rockets. The All-Star forward logged less than eight minutes of action and finished with three points.

One Warriors fan sees a similar instance to Jimmy Butler's injury back in 2023, where he dropped 56 and 42 points in the next two games.
