Like it’s got to be about winning, everything we do, it’s got to be about winning.”</p><p>“If it’s about winning the championship,” Butler continued. “I’m all for it.

Kerr said he’s also unsure if Green and Butler would play in their next game against the Chicago Bulls.</p><p>Green (right midfoot sprain) aggravated his injury during Thursday’s loss to the 76ers. He later left the arena in a boot after undergoing an MRI. Butler, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-jimmy-butler-knee-injury-downplayed-amid-undergoing-mri">dealing with left knee injury management</a>, sat for the third straight game.</p><p><a href="https://x.com/NickFriedell/status/1997442127630930366" rel="noopener">Still, Kerr expressed guarded optimism</a> that the group could return for Sunday’s showdown with the Bulls.</p><p>“I’m optimistic, but I’m not sure yet,” he said, pending updates from head athletic trainer Rick Celebrini. On a positive note, Stephen Curry remains on schedule to return next Friday against Minnesota as he continues to progress through quad rehab.</p><p>Golden State entered the Cavs game at 11-12, sitting eighth in the Western Conference amid an inconsistent start to the 2025-26 campaign. Despite strong moments from veterans and steady contributions from young guns, the Warriors have struggled to find offensive rhythm while maintaining a solid defensive profile. Early-season frustration has surfaced internally. This is especially true with injuries disrupting continuity. Saturday’s contest in Cleveland added another challenge with multiple starters unavailable.</p><p>Both Green and Butler have shown flashes of their trademark intensity and versatility when healthy. That said, frequent setbacks have limited their availability. Green is averaging roughly 8.0 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.5 assists. Meanwhile, Butler has posted 19.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 5.0 assists in 20 games. Their hopeful return Sunday underscores how critical health will be for Golden State’s push to stabilize its season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The team enters the contest at 11–12 as it looks to close a three-game East Coast road trip that continues to present significant availability challenges.</p><p>According to the Warriors’ Saturday morning report, Butler is questionable due to left knee injury management, while Green carries a questionable designation with a right midfoot sprain. Their statuses remain the primary focus as Golden State attempts to stabilize its rotation during a stretch defined by mounting health concerns.</p><p>Butler, in his first full season with Golden State, has been one of the team’s most reliable contributors through the opening quarter of the year. The 36-year-old is averaging 19.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, five assists and 1.6 steals while logging 30.9 minutes per game across 20 appearances. He has been highly efficient, shooting 51.9% from the field, 43.9% from three and 85.7% from the free-throw line. His most recent performance came Tuesday in a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-draymond-green-drops-hell-nah-thunder">124–112 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder</a>, where he totaled six points, three rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes before being limited by knee discomfort.</p><h2><b>Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green’s injury status looms large as Warriors face Cavaliers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Draymond-Green-and-Jimmy-Butler-talk-in-game-vs.-Clippers.jpg"><figcaption>© William Liang-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Green, 35, continues to manage recurring <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nba/golden-state-warriors/warriors-news-draymond-green-injury-update-not-promising">right foot issues that resurfaced Thursday in the team’s 99–98 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers</a>. The forward is averaging eight points, 6.1 rebounds and 5.5 assists in 28.2 minutes per game while shooting 38.2% from the field and 33.3% from deep across 20 games. Green exited Thursday’s contest after re-aggravating the foot injury in the second quarter and did not return. The team later confirmed he underwent imaging, prompting the questionable designation heading into Saturday’s matchup.</p><p>The potential absence of one or both veterans would add further strain to a Warriors roster already dealing with injuries to major contributors. Golden State has been navigating inconsistent availability throughout the season, and the team’s recent stretch of close games has underscored the importance of maintaining lineup stability.</p><p>Saturday’s meeting with the Cavaliers, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET on NBA TV, marks the second stop of Golden State’s back-to-back set. The Warriors will travel to Chicago next, where they face the Bulls (9–13) on Sunday at 7:00 p.m. ET. Following the road trip, Golden State returns home briefly before hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves (14–8) next Friday at 10:00 p.m. ET, also on NBA TV.</p><p>Gametime decisions for Butler and Green are expected to play a significant role in determining Golden State’s approach and rotation against a Cavaliers team that has performed well early in the season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
