Caron Butler may finally be back in uniform for the Washington Wizards on Thursday against LeBron James and the Cavaliers, according to a report by the Associated Press.

Butler, how has been out with a hip injury, has missed 16 straight games and 19 of the last 21.

"Caron is going to be probable, so we add a little 'Tough Juice' to the lineup," said coach Eddie Jordan, referring to Butler's nickname. "And we'll see how it goes."
