Fans on social media immediately accused Thompson— and even Warriors forward Draymond Green —of making a dirty play in the sequence that led to Butler's injury. But that's not how Warriors coach Steve Kerr saw it.

Just seven minutes into a hard-fought Game 2 contest, Jimmy Butler hit the ground hard while battling Amen Thompson for a rebound. He landed on his lower back or butt, but the force of the landing clearly rattled him, and he left the game with a pelvis injury.

According to Shams Charania, Jimmy Butler has been diagnosed with a deep glute muscle contusion, and his status for Game 3 remains uncertain.
