Out Saturday Butler won't Saturday's matchup with the Timberwolves due to left big toe irritation, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports. Impact Butler returned from a one-game absence Friday due to an illness and finished with 24 points (7-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 10-12 FT), five assists, four rebounds, three steals and one block across 34 minutes in Miami's win over Cleveland. His absence for the second leg of the back-to-back set may just be for maintenance purposes, but in any case, Duncan Robinson, Gabe Vincent, Tyler Herro and Max Strus will likely be tasked with covering most of Butler's minutes.
