Chicago's Jimmy Butler (left knee) unsure of a return date
Chicago Bulls guard Jimmy Butler (strained left knee) is "unsure" of a return date from his injury, but Butler guaranteed he will return this season.
What It Means:
He said he will "listen" to his body during rehab, but it should be noted that the Bulls gave him a timetable of three to four weeks. His owners should continue to stash him, and, in the meantime, expect Derrick Rose and E'Twaun Moore to benefit the most. Tony Snell, Doug McDermott and Mike Dunleavy will all play a little more, as well.
Butler's injury is a massive blow for the Bulls. Butler ranks 11th with an 11.1 nERD in 48 games played this season. He's averaging 22.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.1 3-pointers per contest. His 49.2 Effective Field Goal Percentage is a touch better than his career average (48.5).
