The Bulls are already playing without Joakim Noah for the rest of the season after shoulder surgery, but they got some good news Wednesday about All-Star swingman Jimmy Butler. Butler has been out since Feb. 5 after spraining his left knee.
“[He] had a great workout today,” Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg said. “I actually talked to him on the phone a little bit ago, and he’ll be back in there [Thursday], practice fully with the team on Friday, and then we’ll make the decision. It’s still too early to tell if he’ll play on Saturday, but he’s definitely making progress.”
