Good to go Saturday Donovan (knee) is active for Saturday's game against Creighton, David Woods of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Even though he's now available, Donovan is unlikely to see much more than spare minutes here and there moving forward. The junior has averaged no more than 2.3 minutes per game in a season during his first three campaigns with the team.

Inactive Saturday David (knee) won't take part in Saturday's game against Creighton, David Woods of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact David has yet to play this season while coming back from a torn ACL suffered last January. He dressed for a game earlier in January but ultimately didn't play. It's unclear when he'll make his season debut, but his next opportunity comes Tuesday at DePaul.

Taking indefinite leave of absence Hastings is out indefinitely while taking a leave of absence from the program.
Impact Hastings is stepping away from the team due to personal reasons. The sophomore doesn't hold a large role on the team, averaging 0.5 points and 2.0 rebounds over 9.5 minutes per game, so his absence doesn't figure to shake things up for Butler.

Will return Saturday Harris (knee) will retake the floor Saturday versus Creighton.
Impact Harris missed the previous contest due to a knee bruise but appears to be in much better shape with a few days to rest it. The freshman has started each of his last eight games but may have to settle for a bench role with the Bulldogs mostly healthy Saturday.

Expected to play Saturday Golden (ankle) is expected to play Saturday against Creighton, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Impact Golden scored 12 points across 26 minutes in Tuesday's matchup against St. John's and there was a chance that he could've missed this game, but he recovered quicker than expected and is expected to return to the starting lineup here. In nine starts, Golden is averaging 10.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 0.7 steals per game.

Butler looks for home win vs No. 8 Creighton
Butler looks for its fourth straight win over No. 8 Creighton at Hinkle FieldhouseJANUARY 14, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rolls ankle in second half Golden appeared to injure his ankle in the second half of Tuesday's matchup against St. John's, David Woods of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact It was hardly noticeable in the final box score with Golden putting up his highest scoring total of conference play, though he did see one of his lower minutes totals this season with 26. While there hasn't been a major level of concern expressed yet, Butler might need to rely on the likes of John-Michael Mulloy if Golden misses time, or perhaps hope for an early return from Christian David (knee). The Bulldogs host Creighton on Saturday.

Champagnie leads St. John's past Butler 69-57
Julian Champagnie had 18 points and three blocks as St. John’s beat Butler 69-57JANUARY 13, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Sidelined Tuesday Harris (undisclosed) didn't play in Tuesday's 69-57 loss to St. John's.
Impact Harris suffered an undisclosed injury during practice this week and failed to suit up as a result. Myles Tate started in his place but struggled from the field, hitting just three of 14 attempts from the field while missing all six of his three-point attempts. The poor performance from Harris won't give the coaching staff any reason to play him over Harris when he returns. The extent of of Harris' injury is unclear, but his next chance to take the floor comes Saturday against Creighton.

Has off night back in rotation Tate recorded eight points (3-14 FG, 0-6 3PT, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals in 40 minutes in the 69-57 loss to St. John's on Tuesday.
Impact Tate did not have a good performance in the loss Tuesday. The guard had come off the bench in the last two matches and was blindly rewarded with starting minutes after two poor performances. He continued that trend and went 15 percent from the floor, but did add enough grabs. Tate surely needs to find his shooting form before he is warranted.

Has an average night in the loss Golden recorded 12 points (6-10 FG, 0-2 3PT, 0-1 FT) and two rebounds in 26 minutes in the 69-57 loss to St. John's on Tuesday.
Impact Golden was subpar in the loss Tuesday. The center was not seen at all in the paint with a mediocre two rebounds on the night. Golden did go 50 percent from the floor, but was not enough to help the Bulldogs pull within the Red Storm. He has gone through a rough set of form lately and cannot find his rhythm in the paint or at the boards. Until Golden can find form, he is not a viable option for Butler.

May not play Tuesday Harris was nicked up in practice and may not take the floor Tuesday versus St. John's, David Woods of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact This makes more sense as the reason behind Harris' move to the bench rather than a straight benching due to one bad effort Saturday. Myles Tate is set to start in his place and could be in line for a sizable minutes boost if Harris can't play.

Headed to bench Harris will serve in a bench role Tuesday versus St. John's, David Woods of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Harris had started every game but the opener, but he will return to the bench after turning in just four points and turning the ball over four times Saturday versus UConn. Myles Tate will replace him in the starting five.
JANUARY 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Back in starting five Tate will join the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against St. John's, David Woods of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Tate appeared of the bench in each of the last two games and was unable to get a ton done offensively in either contest, compiling a combined five points. He'll get a chance to redeem himself in the starting lineup Tuesday, which could come with a slight bump in minutes.

Butler's double-double lifts Holy Cross over Army 70-61
Austin Butler posted his seventh career double-double with 13 points and 14 rebounds to lead Holy Cross to a 70-61 win over ArmyJANUARY 11, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Shows up empty in loss Harris recorded four points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3PT, 2-2 FT), one assist and one steal in 21 minutes in the 72-60 loss to Connecticut on Saturday.
Impact Harris struggled in the loss Saturday after having a rather good stretch of form. The guard was not given many chances to shoot, but only sank one of four attempts and did not produce anything else outside of it. He will not be viable, until he can return to form.
