Bulls' Mike Dunleavy Out, Jimmy Butler Questionable Against Warriors
(CBS) The Bulls will be short-handed when they face the league-leading Golden State Warriors on the road tonight.
Forward Mike Dunleavy will miss his 14th straight game with a jammed right ankle, Tom Thibodeau told reporters Tuesday morning, while wing Jimmy Butler is questionable with an illness. Butler didn't participate in the morning shootaround.
Tony Snell has been starting recently in Dunleavy's absence. Kirk Hinrich would likely get starting consideration as well if Butler's out.
The Warriors present the Bulls with their toughest test of the season. Golden State is an NBA-best 36-6, including 21-1 at Oracle Arena. The Warriors beat the Bulls, 112-102, at the United Center on Dec. 6.
