He says he's returning soon in the caption. Thibs better have him on a strict minutes limit. I honestly don't know how I feel about him coming back. If he's the difference in sneaking into the 2nd round of the playoffs I just don't know if any long term risk is worth it.
Butler Injury
Re: Butler Injury
Honestly I'm still a bit traumatized by budinger's return from surgury that didn't go well. I just want Jikky to be healthy. That being said if a guy is ready he is ready. Every guy and injury is different. Also that was some good shooting in the video. Jimmy was watching Tre Jones at the state Tourney at Target center last night.

I trust Jimmy to play a controlled style of basketball when he comes back, which will be different from every time Derrick Rose has tried to come back from injury.

I'd like to see if he can elevate. To me that video shows he's still a ways away.

I agree. Let's see where KAT and Wiggins can take us, with help from Teague and Belly, these final 8 games. I'd like to see more minutes for Tyus, MGH and even Gorgui during this final stretch, especially against the lesser teams like Memphis and Atlanta, to keep our key regular guys fresh. I think fatigue was part of Teague's problem the last two games. We have the talent and schedule to finish in the top 7, even higher, without Butler. I wouldn't want to risk jeapordizing Butler's ability to return at full strength for the playoffs or risk his long term health for next season.
