Jimmy Butler Held To Five Points
6 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers shooting guard Jimmy Butler scored five points on 2-for-12 shooting in Sunday's loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. He also added six assists, three rebounds, and a steal. With Joel Embiid out, Butler was expected to shoulder the team's offensive load, but he failed to get anything going. This is something that's been a slight concern for Butler since joining the Sixers: he's occasionally put up some complete stinkers. The Sixers take on the Clippers on Tuesday, who are allowing the sixth-most points per game, setting Butler up for what should be a strong bounce back game.
