Butler will get extra playing time during the preseason after Brad Beal (fractured wrist) and Glen Rice (sprained ankle) suffered injuries, CSN Washington's J. Michael reports.

Analysis:

Butler entered camp on a non-guaranteed deal, merely hoping for a shot at one of the final spots on the roster. With the Wizards now lacking a healthy true shooting guard, the likes of Butler, Xavier Silas and Damion James may be competing for a role in the team's early-season rotation. Beal's spot in the starting lineup will likely be filled by Rice or Otto Porter.
