The Minnesota Timberwolves will continue to mix in occasional games of "scheduled rest" for Jimmy Butler while he remains in limbo following his trade request.

Butler and the Wolves jointly agreed to that plan coming into the season, as well as for him to have a loose limit of 32 minutes.

Both Butler and the Wolves want to minimize his injury risk after Glen Taylor promised him they'd try to accommodate his trade request.

By most reports, trade talks involving Butler largely remain dormant after he was nearly traded before the start of the season.
