Player to watch: Jimmy Butler, Wolves
OK, so a light two-game week brings both Cleveland superstar LeBron James and former Wolves guard Zach LaVine. But the thing to watch is Butler’s return to Chicago for first time since last summer’s draft-night trade with the Bulls.
VOICES
“I guess it just shows you how crazy and short life can be. Love life and live it how you want to live it. You never know.”
Wolves young forward Andrew Wiggins, turning unusually introspective publicly after former teammate and retired NBA player Rasual Butler died in an automobile accident last week at age 38.
