Chicago Bulls shooting guard Jimmy Butler will return to action for Monday night's contest against the Toronto Raptors.
Butler has missed 14 of the last 15 games for Chicago with a left knee injury. After experiencing swelling and mysterious pain in the knee last week, the 26-year-old opted to get a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews, a renowned physician.

The return of Butler couldn't come at a better time for the Bulls, who are out of a playoff position after dropping six of their last eight contests.
Butler is averaging 22.4 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists, while leading the NBA in minutes per game.
