The Golden State Warriors are on the verge of playoff elimination, but their injured superstar doesn't expect to be back for the next game.

Jimmy Butler called Monday's Game 4 a must-win with star point guard Stephen Curry still sidelined by a hamstring injury he suffered in Game 1 last Tuesday. He said that if the Warriors lost, they "don’t have to worry about getting Steph back this year."

In nearly 1,000 possessions prior to the playoffs, Golden State had a plus-12.8 net rating when Butler was on the floor without Curry. In those same non-Curry minutes, Butler averaged 24.9 points and 7.6 assists per 75 possessions, with a 63.7 true shooting percentage.
