In the Golden State Warriors' initial injury report against the Miami Heat, Butler's name was nowhere to be found. It only means that the star forward is good to go this Monday in San Francisco.
There were concerns about Butler's whereabouts after he didn't appear and suit up in the Warriors' 136-116 Saturday win over the Charlotte Hornets due to personal reasons.
Eventually, head coach Steve Kerr dismissed any anxiety that surrounds about Butler, further noting that everything is fine with the 36-year-old.
"I got word from Mike [Dunleavy] that everything is fine," he said after the victory over Charlotte. "He just had a personal thing that came up right before the game."
Butler played in 37 games so far this season, averaging 20.1 points, 5.6 boards, 4.9 assists and 1.4 steals.
With him back in the lineup, the sizzling Warriors (24-19) are set to be fortified again after winning 11 of their last 15 games.
