Butler Goes Through Saturday's Shootaround, Is 'Close' To Returning

Timberwolves All-Star wing Jimmy Butler has missed the last four games with a sore knee, but looks to return on Saturday night against the Nets at Target Center.

He took part in morning shootaround and will warm up tonight, according to Timberwolves coach Tom Thibodeau.

“He’s close,” Thibodeau said.

Butler, though, took to Instagram to give us his injury update . . .

Welcome to 2018, everyone. Where news is broken in the comment section on Instagram.

Bob Woodward is cringing.

The Wolves were 2-2 without Butler in the lineup, beating Toronto and LA, while losing to Portland and Golden State.
