Jimmy Butler to see specialist for sprained wrist

Jimmy Butler has been injured with a sprained wrist, causing him to miss the last two games (1/21 vs. HOU, 1/23 vs. SAS). According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Butler is seeing a specialist in Los Angeles regarding his injured wrist:

76ers star Jimmy Butler will see a specialist for his sprained right wrist today in Los Angeles, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @WatchStadium. - @ShamsCharania on Twitter

Normally, given that we’re talking about the Sixers here, this might be of some significant concern. But Charania went on to report that while Butler is doubtful for the Sixers’ game against the Denver Nuggets (tomorrow, 1/26), the Sixers and Butler are both optimistic that he will play at some point during the four-game road trip.
