Jimmy Butler's (back) status up in air for Timberwolves on Monday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (sore back) is uncertain for Monday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Butler went to the locker room on Saturday against the Phoenix Suns for what appeared to be a minor back injury, but apparently he wasn't able to do much at today's practice, raising questions about his availability for tomorrow night's matchup in Minnesota. Shabazz Muhammad drew the start in the previous two games Butler missed this season.
Butler is averaging 37.9 FanDuel points in 28 games this season. Over the remainder of the year, numberFire's models project him to record 24.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 2.4 3-pointers, 1.9 steals, and 2.8 turnovers per game.
