Is Jimmy Butler playing tonight against Philadelphia 76ers? Latest on Warriors star's availability (Mar. 1)

Jimmy Butler is listed as questionable for the Golden State Warriors' game against the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday due to a mid-back spasm. The veteran forward played in the Warriors' 121-115 victory over the Orlando Magic on Thursday and dropped a stat line of five points, four rebounds, seven assists and one block.

"No. I know the caliber of player I am. It’s never about anything but winning with me and it’s never about anything but winning with the guys around this locker room," Butler said.

Jimmy Butler has suited up for the Warriors in eight games so far after arriving in the Bay Area via trade.
