Tom Thibodeau described the status of Jimmy Butler with the Minnesota Timberwolves as a "fluid situation."

Butler was not with the Wolves in Los Angeles for practice on Monday. Butler was given an extra week to continue rehabilitating his surgically repaired right hand, but he was expected to rejoin the Wolves this week.

Thibodeau declined to say if he expected Butler to join the Wolves before they execute a trade.

“Like I said our job is to focus on the guys that are here,” Thibodeau said. “That’s what we’re doing as we get ready for our next game and our improvement each day. ”
