Bulls’ Jimmy Butler feeling better, but no timetable for return
Guard Jimmy Butler shot a bit at the Berto Center on Friday, but he remains very limited by a turf-toe injury, so there’s no timetable for his return. ‘‘He says he’s feeling a lot better,’’ coach Tom Thibodeau said. ‘‘He hasn’t done anything [strenuous] on the court, so he has to practice first. The swelling’s down, not close to 100 percent, but we feel good about his improvement. He didn’t do a whole lot, but he’ll travel.’’ Merely...

Butler's foot improving; return uncertain
DEERFIELD, Ill. -- Chicago Bulls guard Jimmy Butler said Friday his turf toe was improving, but he was still unsure when he would be able to return to the lineup. “I want to come back as soon as possible,” Butler said at the Berto Center on Friday. “I don’t know.

Rose can relate to Butler's plight
DENVER -- Derrick Rose can empathize with Jimmy Butler's turf toe injury. That's because Rose, who has dealt with the injury twice in his career, says he is still dealing with turf toe. "I still got it," Rose said before Thursday morning's shootaround. "I think it's an injury where you just got to get your toe back mobile, get it moving again. For me, I hope he hurries up and rushes back, but he's still got to be patient." Butler injured the toe in Monday night's win over the Charlotte Bobcats and will not travel with the team during their annual circus trip which begins Thursday night...

Butler’s injured toe could keep Bulls’ guard out until December
DENVER — The Bulls announced Wednesday that shooting guard Jimmy Butler stayed behind in Chicago because of turf toe on his right big toe. He was listed as week-to-week, but coach Tom Thibodeau didn’t want to start throwing timetables around. “I don’t even want to speculate,’’ said Thibodeau, whose team begins a six-game road trip Thursday against the Nuggets. “He has to get the swelling out first.’’ The best-case scenario would be for Butler to be...

Bulls hope to pick up slack without Butler
DENVER -- Kirk Hinrich and his teammates know what they'll be missing without Jimmy Butler in the fold for the next few weeks while he recovers from turf toe. "His energy," Hinrich said before Wednesday's practice. "His versatility defensively, he can guard so many different positions. He's one of our better athletes on the wing so really just his verstility. He does so much for us." The Bulls are confident they'll be able to win games without Butler, but Hinrich is right in his assessment.

Jimmy Butler to miss 6-game road trip with turf toe
You're not going to believe this, but the Bulls mismanaged an injury once again. The news on the toe injury Jimmy Butler suffered against the Bobcats on Monday night is not encouraging. He's been diagnosed with a sprain (more commonly referred to as turf toe) and won't travel on the Bulls' annual Circus Trip, a six-game stretch on the road that kicks off Thursday against the Nuggets. It's an unfortunate blow for a team that badly needs to keep playing together to form cohesion, but what's really worrisome how the Bulls again handled an injury with their own signature touch of tone deaf...
