Jimmy Butler's strained left knee means big trouble for Bulls (Ball Don't Lie)

After losing three straight games, five of six and eight of 11, things got even worse for the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday, when the team announced that All-Star shooting guard Jimmy Butler will miss the next three to four weeks with a strained left knee, removing one of the game's best two-way players from the Bulls lineup for a daunting stretch of somewhere between eight and 12 games.

The injury also means Butler will miss this weekend's 2016 NBA All-Star Game in Toronto.
