Bulls' Butler hyperextends elbow, to have MRI

Jimmy Butler left Sunday's 96-86 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers after hyperextending his left elbow. He did not return to the game and is scheduled to have an MRI on Monday.

The Butler setback is the latest for a Chicago Bulls squad that has been bitten hard by the injury bug in recent days. Taj Gibson missed Sunday's game after spraining his left ankle and Derrick Rose is expected to be out for four to six weeks after having a meniscectomy on his right knee on Friday.
