Timberwolves' Jimmy Butler (knee) plans to return on Friday
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is planning to play on Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers.
What It Means:
Butler was technically active and available on Thursday, but did not play against the Denver Nuggets. It sounds like he should finally make his much anticipated return tonight. Nemanja Bjelica would stand to take the biggest hit after starting in place of Butler while he was out.
numberFire projects Butler for 28.3 FanDuel points in 25.1 minutes.
