HOUSTON -- Golden State Warriors star Jimmy Butler took a scary fall late in the first quarter and suffered a pelvis contusion that forced him out of Game 2 against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.
Butler will undergo an MRI on Thursday, the team said.
Butler went up to grab a defensive rebound off Amen Thompson's missed shot, and Thompson flew into him. Butler came crashing down on his tailbone area and immediately looked to be in pain. Thompson, who was jostling with Draymond Green prior to colliding with Butler, was down for a short moment before getting up.
