No matter what the coaches say, no matter what players might hint at, or even what the teams tell media covering their practices and shootarounds, no injury report counts quite like the official NBA injury report that comes out each day through the league office.

Coach Steve Kerr isn't sure how long the Warriors might be without Butler, who has helped the team to a 25-9 record since a February trade from the Heat. He was listed as questionable for Saturday’s Game 3 and then ruled out. An MRI Thursday reveled that he injured his pelvis and has a deep gluteal muscle contusion.

A Game 3 between the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets has had its fair share of history. Stephen Curry surpassed Tony Parker for the 10th-most playoff points in NBA history. Curry is no stranger to the bright lights.
