Mavericks forward Caron Butler is hoping to return to the court on Monday night against the Hornets.

Butler has been dealing with back spasms.

"That's the plan," said Butler, who has been using one form of treatment more than any other. "I'll be out there sometime next week."

"[I've been] laying in a hyperbaric chamber," he said. "It's unbelievable. It's like being on an airplane, your ears are popping and you feel the air pressure on your body and it starts loosening up. It helped out tremendously."
