Butler (thumb) will not require surgery on his sprained thumb, K.C. Johnson of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Analysis:

Butler left Sunday's contest with the injury and did not return. Owners can rest easy, however, as he's only slated to miss a few days and should be fine when the regular season opens. Butler will not play against the Cavs on Monday and is slated to undergo an MRI on Tuesday, after which a firmer timetable will likely be established.
