Jimmy Butler, Mike Dunleavy Out Against Celtics

By Cody Westerlund-

(CBS) The Bulls will be without two starters for Saturday night's game against the Celtics.

Wing Jimmy Butler will miss the game on bereavement leave, and forward Mike Dunleavy is out with what coach Tom Thibodeau has called a "jammed" right ankle.

"We just got to be ready," Thibodeau said. "We got more than enough. The next guy's got to get in there and get the job done."

Thibodeau expects Butler back for Monday's home game against the Rockets.

Thibodeau didn't reveal who would start in place of Butler and Dunleavy, but Kirk Hinrich will likely fill one of the spots.

Dunleavy injured his ankle in the third quarter of Thursday's win against the Nuggets and didn't return. This will mark the first game he's missed in nearly 1 1/2 seasons with the Bulls.

Dunleavy had a big boot on his right foot while shooting free throws at the end of Saturday's shootaround.

"It's disappointing, but it is what it is," Dunleavy said.

"I don't know how long it's going to be, but I'm having a tough time with it right now. It could be a little bit of time.

"It's really not close right now. I just can't play."
