Jimmy Butler (knee) went through shootaround but will wait until pregame warmups to decide whether or not he'll play Friday night against Denver

Butler (knee) went through shootaround but will wait until pregame warmups to decide whether or not he'll play Friday night against Denver, Nick Friedell of ESPN Chicago reports.

Analysis:

Butler, who missed Wednesday's game with a sore left knee, said he's feeling a little better, but he's still battling discomfort. As such, he'll receive treatment throughout the afternoon and test out the knee in warmups before making a final call. Given the situation, Butler is a risky daily play, as his status may not be decided until minutes before game-time.
