BIZARRE: Warriors star jimmy butler admits fall from rockets series is still bothering him | Mind Blowing Facts

Golden State Warriors star Jimmy Butler says he's still dealing with the lingering effects of the pelvic contusion from the first round against the Houston Rockets. | Jesse Johnson-Imagn Images

He's still dealing with the nagging effects of the pelvic contusion that he suffered in Golden State's first-round series against the Houston Rockets.
