Caron Butler was off to a promising start in Friday's game, scoring 10 points in 14 minutes, but left during the second quarter due to a back injury and is questionable to return. Butler had no rebounds and just one assist to his credit, but the 10 points were a sign of life that we haven't seen for a while. It's possible he is breaking down as many predicted, but we'd caution owners to exercise patience here. The Clippers have four games per week the rest of the way out and Butler is a mid-round producer when healthy.
