Butler (knee) will play in Friday's game, the Arizona Republic's Paul Coro reports.
Analysis:
He was ill and banged his knee Thursday in Los Angeles, but he will tough it out in the second half of a back-to-back. Given how coach Tom Thibodeau likes to ride Butler, he should be deployed in all formats despite his ailments.
