Jimmy Butler (knee) says he'll return for Timberwolves before playoffs
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee surgery) said that he expects to make it back to the court before the playoffs.
What It Means:
"I’m excited at my progression because I know I’m going to be back out there with my guys soon," said Butler, who also acknowledged that he still doesn't have a timetable, in the All-Star's first presser since his knee was operated on in February. The NBA playoffs begin on April 14.
Butler averaged 41.4 FanDuel points per game before injuring his knee.
