Jimmy Butler: (Ribs) To Return, Start Wednesday

Butler, who missed the last two games with a rib injury, will start on Wednesday night against the Warriors, ESPN-AM 1000 in Chicago reports.

Analysis:

Butler missed Sunday's game against the Heat and Tuesday night's contest against the Hawks. Tony Snell had been picking up the minutes with Butler out of the lineup. If Butler is 100 percent healthy, he should equal his more than 36 minutes per game participation on the floor. Butler averages 14 points and 7.7 rebounds per game against the Warriors.
