A return to South Philly for the first time as a member of the Golden State Warriors could be on the horizon for former Philadelphia 76ers star Jimmy Butler. Ho

The Golden State Warriors will play their first game without Jimmy Butler, who was ruled out of Saturday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers because of back spasms. Head coach Steve Kerr said Butler began experiencing back issues when he took a hit from Orlando's Wendell Carter Jr.

Jonathan Kuminga remains out for the Warriors as he continues to recover from a right ankle sprain, while the Hornets have listed Miles Bridges and Seth Curry as probable to play. The Warriors will be looking to improve on their 32-28 record (seventh in the Western Conference) when they return to action on Monday.
