He warmed up on the practice court 90 minutes before tip-off and was given the green light, but he appeared limited in his 14 first-half minutes, missing four of his five shots.<\/p>\n<p>Butler subbed out at the 7:04 mark of the second quarter and eventually exited for the locker room. He didn&#8217;t close the first half and wasn&#8217;t on the bench in the second half. The team officially ruled him out in the third quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Butler has been durable since his trade to the Warriors last February, appearing in 30 of 31 regular-season games down the stretch and missing only one playoff game after a brutal fall on his tailbone in Game 2 of their first-round series in Houston.<\/p>\n<p>Butler started all eight games to open this season before Tuesday night&#8217;s early departure. The Warriors are on a back-to-back in Sacramento on Wednesday night. Eight of their next nine games are on the road.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN FRANCISCO &#8212; Golden State Warriors wing Jimmy Butler left Tuesday night&#8217;s game against the Phoenix Suns with&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":272354,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[355,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-272353","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nba","8":"tag-nba","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=272353"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/272353\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/272354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=272353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=272353"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=272353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
