Jimmy Butler Questionable For Friday Due To Illness
6 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Mavericks. He missed Wednesday's win over the Suns with a respiratory disease and was given that designation for Saturday, but with ESPN reporting that Butler has "aggressively challenged" coach Brett Brown, there could be more absences to come. If Butler is unable to go tomorrow, Furkan Korkmaz would likely get the start while Landry Shamet or Demetrius Jackson could see an increase in time off the bench. Korkmaz would be a DFS or streaming option as he is producing 11.3 points, three rebounds, three assists and 1.3 steals in three starts this season.
