DENVER — Beat up as he may be, Jimmy Butler will give it a go against the Denver Nuggets after missing Wednesday’s game in Sacramento with left knee tendinitis.
The Bulls’ leading scorer went through morning shootaround after going through treatments on the muscles surrounding his left knee over the last three days. He bumped knees in Salt Lake City during the Bulls’ overtime loss to the Utah Jazz on Monday.
Considering Pau Gasol is questionable after getting hit on the left hand late in the Bulls’ win over the Kings and Mike Dunleavy is still probably a game away from returning, Butler probably feels the responsibility to get out there if his body allows.
