This is why Jimmy Butler is the star the Warriors needed

The Golden State Warriors achieved a 104-93 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday night, but they did it without their star, Stephen Curry, who was rested. It wasn't a problem, as Jimmy Butler stepped in.

Coach Steve Kerr explained that the guard was "exhausted," especially after his performance in the Monday loss to the Denver Nuggets 114-105 at the Chase Center. In that game, Curry scored 20 points with a 6-for-21 shooting from the field, in addition to registering 7 assists and 7 turnovers.

Although the player insisted he felt fine, he admitted to dealing with lower back discomfort since the warm-up before the Thursday game against the Sacramento Kings. "I feel fine," commented Curry. "Obviously, I didn't play well at all, so everyone, including the coach, is trying to understand why. Most of the turnovers were silly mistakes throughout the night. We were on a good streak, and you expect to maintain some consistency, but when that doesn't happen, questions arise."

In the injury report, Curry was listed as out for rest. Since the beginning of February, he has scored 20 or more points in 18 of his last 20 games. Kerr made it clear that his guard needs to recharge for the final stretch of the season. "He's exhausted at the moment," stated the coach. "We seriously need to consider giving him a break to recover and be in the best shape for the remainder of the schedule. I think he's been looking tired in the last few games, so we must find a way for him to regain his energy."
