Jimmy Butler expected to play for Timberwolves Wednesday

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler practiced on Sunday and is expected to play in Wednesday's regular-season opener versus the San Antonio Spurs, head coach Tom Thibodeau confirmed.

What It Means:

After all the drama and excitement, it looks like Butler will be starting the year in Timberwolves threads. This figures to remain a story throughout the season.

Operating under the assumption Butler plays 37.1 minutes per game for the Timberwolves this season, numberFire's models project him to be a top-15 fantasy option with 23.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 2.0 steals, and 1.5 3-pointers per game.
