Jimmy Butler: (Personal) Out Saturday
Butler is on bereavement leave and will not play Saturday, the Chicago Tribune's K.C. Johnson reports.
Analysis:
It is not clear how long he will be out, but bereavement issues are typically day-to-day ordeals. The Bulls will play again Monday at home against the Rockets, so Butler should be considered questionable for that contest. Mike Dunleavy is also out Saturday, which means Kirk Hinrich, Aaron Brooks, Tony Snell and Nikola Mirotic will all see extended run. Look for Hinrich to start at the two in place of Butler.
