Jimmy Butler had to leave the Timberwolves' matchup against the Rockets in the third quarter with an apparent right-knee injury.

Butler hurt himself on a play where he came down after a rebound on Rockets center Nene. He managed to move a little bit after the play, but after taking a couple of steps he collapsed to the floor in obvious pain.
