On the night from Wednesday to Thursday, April 24, an NBA playoff game took place between the Houston Rockets and the Golden State Warriors. Golden State fell short, but that wasn't the only bad news for the team.

Details: A challenging injury was sustained by visiting player Jimmy Butler. At the end of the first quarter, he had an unfortunate fall and injured his hip. He left the court and did not return. The head coach of Golden State commented on the incident.

Quote: "Jimmy always says that he'll be fine. But we have to wait for the MRI results," said Steve Kerr.

In this game, he managed to play eight minutes and scored three points during that time. It is currently unknown if he will play in the third playoff game.

Reminder: Detroit clinched their first playoff win in the last 16 matches. The Pistons held the longest losing streak in elimination games—15 consecutive losses.
