Jimmy Butler Returns From Two-Game Absence, Scores 20
6 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers guard Jimmy Butler missed a pair of games due to an upper respiratory infection, but he returned for Tuesday's meeting with the Washington Wizards and finished with 20 points on 8-for-9 shooting. Butler also grabbed five rebounds to go along with three assists and two steals. Butler wasn't heavily involved in the scoring load despite his numbers, with his nine shot attempts ranking in a tie for fourth on the team, but he made up for it with a highly efficient night. The Sixers face the Wizards again on Wednesday, and Butler should see more shot attempts in this meeting, setting him up for a strong performance.
