Timberwolves' Jimmy Butler (right leg) helped off the court on Friday night
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler was helped off the court with an apparent right leg injury on Friday night.
Butler suffered the injury in the third quarter after contact with Nene Hilario of the Houston Rockets. He grabbed his right knee and was unable to put any weight on it as teammates helped him off the court. He is not likely to return and could be out for a substantial time. Expect more details to follow after the game. Nemanja Bjelica would see a bump in playing time if Butler is out a while.
Butler finished with 10 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, and 23.5 FanDuel points.
