Caron Butler (back) returned after a one-game absence on Thursday, scoring 11 points on 5-of-14 shooting (including a three) with two rebounds and no other stats in 26 minutes. We're fine with an off-night in his first game back with the Clippers struggling. Butler has been playing pretty well so owners would be wise to leave him in lineups even after tonight's bad shooting performance.
