PHOENIX -- Chicago Bulls All-Star swingman Jimmy Butler admitted there still is pain in his right heel after scoring 20 points in a 115-97 loss to the Phoenix Suns. Butler, who had missed the last three games because of the heel injury, was non-committal when asked about his availability for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
“That’s a good question," Butler said. "That’s a really good question.’’
Butler initially injured the heel in a Feb. 1 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
After Friday's game, Butler wore an ice pack and expressed frustration with the injury.
