Philadelphia 76ers guard Jimmy Butler is expected to return from his right wrist sprain against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday, sources told Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes.
Butler met with a specialist on Friday and is expected to miss a third straight game Saturday against the Denver Nuggets, Haynes reports.
The four-time All-Star is averaging 19 points and 4.8 rebounds in 28 games since being acquired by the 76ers.
Los Angeles, meanwhile, will take on a healthy Philly roster while currently on a slump, as the Lakers have lost five of their last seven games heading into a Sunday date with the Phoenix Suns.
