Jimmy Butler’s MRI reveals shoulder injury is just a strain

Although Jimmy Butler did not participate in practice Wednesday, all the news was not bad when it came to his injured right shoulder.

An MRI revealed that Butler has nothing more serious than a strain after he aggravated an injury Tuesday night that he first suffered in Sunday’s game against the Orlando Magic.

Butler’s status for Thursday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers remains unknown, according to coach Tom Thibodeau.
