UPDATE: Jimmy Butler has been ruled out (h/t Underdog NBA).

UPDATE: Anthony Slater of The Athletic reported the latest.

Via Slater: "Jimmy Butler had a wrap around his mid back after the Warriors’ shootaround this morning in Philadelphia. He remains questionable vs Sixers with back spasms. Jonathan Kuminga (out) was going through another full workout on his recovering ankle."

On Saturday evening, the Golden State Warriors will play the Philadelphia 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center.

For the game, the Warriors could be without one of their best players, as Jimmy Butler is on the injury report.

Via Underdog NBA: "Jimmy Butler (back) listed questionable for Saturday."

Butler is off to a strong start to his Warriors tenure.

He is averaging 16.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.2 steals per contest while shooting 43.3% from the field in eight games.

The Warriors have gone 7-1 in that span.

Via Evan Sidery of Forbes: "The Warriors are an elite team when Stephen Curry, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green share the court:

120.5 OffRtg (2nd)
112.5 DefRtg (13th)
+8.0 NetRtg (4th)

Golden State is 7-1 since acquiring Butler, which has completely changed their outlook for a potential deep playoff run."

The Warriors are the seventh seed in the Western Conference with a 32-27 record in 59 games.

They have gone 7-3 over their last ten (and won five straight).

Following the 76ers, the Warriors will play their next game on Monday night when they visit the Charlotte Hornets in North Carolina.
