Chicago Bulls' Butler to miss 3-4 weeks with knee injury
Posted February 09, 2016 12:00 am
The Chicago Bulls expect top scorer Jimmy Butler to be out 3-4 weeks with a left knee strain, which he originally suffered on Friday against Denver.
While Butler will not play in Sunday's NBA All-Star Game, NBA officials named teammate Pau Gasol to replace Butler as a reserve for the Eastern Conferences.
Assuming he can stay healthy until Sunday, this will be Gasol's fifth all-star appearance. He was voted a starter last season and missed getting a starting slot this season by roughly 600 votes.
