Philadelphia 76ers guard Jimmy Butler is likely to make a fairly quick return to the lineup despite spraining his wrist.
According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, a specialist confirmed the diagnosis of a sprained wrist, and Butler is expected to be back in the lineup Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Butler will sit out Saturday night’s game in Denver, but that appears to be the last game he’ll miss as a result of the injury. It was slightly worrisome when we heard that he’d be meeting with a specialist about the injury, but the prognosis is good and his absence is set to be a brief one.
