Bulls' Jimmy Butler (right heel) out on Friday versus Rockets
Chicago Bulls guard/forward Jimmy Butler (right heel contusion) will not play against the Houston Rockets on Friday.
Well, this came out of nowhere. Butler's heel injury comes as a surprise as it wasn't mentioned previously. He is missing a great matchup versus the Rockets with Doug McDermott and Paul Zipser likely splitting his playing time. Dwyane Wade will become the Bulls' primary scoring option on Friday.
Wade was already projected for a big night with 19.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 4.1 assists in 30.8 minutes but will receive big boost without Butler.
