Mon Dec 16 201322:41Rasual Butler had his eye scratched
Rasual Butler said he's fine after getting his eye scratched on Monday.
He played 14 minutes against the Pistons and scored five points. Butler has played a little more lately and logged 24 minutes on Friday, but he is very unlikely to see minutes once Danny Granger (knee, hamstring) comes back.

Sun Oct 27 201314:36Rasual Butler makes Pacers for opening night
Rasual Butler will be on the Pacers' roster to begin the season.
Danny Granger's calf injury leaves Indiana thin at SG/SF, especially if Chris Copeland plays most of his minutes at PF. Butler will serve as depth behind Lance Stephenson and Paul George, but the 34-year-old isn't a fantasy option.

Tue Sep 3 201317:33Rasual Butler to join Indy for training camp
Rasual Butler will sign a non-guaranteed contract to join the Pacers for training camp, according to RealGM.com.
The Pacers don't have overwhelming depth on the wings, especially with Chris Copeland and Danny Granger both returning from knee injuries, so Butler has an outside chance to make the regular season roster. The 10-year veteran played 32 games for the Raptors in 2011-12 before spending last season with the Tulsa 66ers in the D-League.

Wed Jul 10 201311:09Rasual Butler still angling for NBA contract
Rasual Butler, who is playing for the Pacers' Summer League team, has no intention of retiring from the NBA.
Butler played in the D-League last season, averaging 17.8 points and 5.1 boards per game. "I feel like [playing in Summer League] is the part of the process right now, having been out of the league for a year," he said. "People can see that I'm still mobile, I can move around the court, I haven't lost a step, and I can still shoot the ball." During the 2011-12 season, he shot 30.8 percent from the field in 34 appearances with Toronto.

Mon Sep 17 201216:33Bucks work out three swingmen on Monday
The Bucks hosted free agents Marquis Daniels, Rasual Butler and Rodney Carney during an informal workout session on Monday.
Milwaukee could certainly use more depth at the SG/SF positions, which makes it plausible that they'll sign someone out of this group. None of these guys have fantasy appeal, regardless of where they land.

This move was made today to allow Butler to sign with a team before the playoff free agent deadline on Friday. Butler had fallen completely out of the rotation with Linas Kleiza and James Johnson emerging in their roles in Toronto.

Mon Jan 2 201223:10Rasual Butler double-doubles vs. Raptors
Rasual Butler double-doubled with 13 points on 5-of-12 shooting and 10 rebounds to go with one steal in 37 minutes of action on Monday against the Knicks.
Considering Butler hasn't grabbed more than three rebounds since Dec. 25, 2009, we're pretty comfortable calling this a fluke. He has competition from James Johnson, and though Butler got the lion's share of minutes tonight, we need to see clear separation and production before recommending Butler for anything.

Rasual Butler is expected to sign with the Raptors.
Butler gives the Raptors added depth at SG and SF, and he'll come far cheaper than Mickael Pietrus (who Toronto may not be signing, after all).

Rasual Butler has signed with CB Gran Canaria.
Butler's deal is for the upcoming season, but it's not yet known whether or not he'll have an out clause in the contract. He was signed off the street by the Bulls in March, but he played in only six games. He'll likely look to re-build his stock around the league by playing overseas.

Wed Jun 15 201111:38Butler not expected back with Bulls
The Bulls are not expected to bring back free agent Rasual Butler.
Butler signed with the Bulls off the street in March, but appeared in just six games. He'll attract some level of interest on the open market for the minimum salary because he can shoot the rock.

Thu Mar 3 201115:22Bulls officially add Rasual Butler

Thu Mar 3 201110:55Report: Butler won't have big role with Bulls
Rasual Butler will not log major minutes with the Bulls, a source tells ESPN Chicago.

Wed Mar 2 201111:27Rasual Butler to sign with Bulls
The agent for free agent Rasual Butler confirmed that his client will sign with the Bulls once he clears waivers.
Butler fell out of favor with the Clippers, but is still regarded as a premier 3-point shooter in the league. It's a nice fit for the Bulls who are desperate for some outside shooting. Still, Butler is unlikely to ever see big minutes while playing behind Ronnie Brewer, Keith Bogans and Kyle Korver on the wings.

Sun Feb 27 201120:49Bulls expected to sign Rasual Butler
The Clippers have bought out Rasual Butler, and the veteran swingman plans to sign with the Bulls.
The Bulls have been seeking help at SG all season, and Butler is a cheap and logical addition to their bench. He isn't likely to have fantasy value, however, at least while Ronnie Brewer is healthy.

Tue Dec 28 201013:00Butler falling out of rotation
Rasual Butler took a DNP-CD on Sunday and then played just one minute in Monday's win over the Kings.
Butler, who was once considered a valuable shooter for the Clippers, is quickly falling out of the rotation. With Randy Foye healthy and Al-Farouq Aminu needing minutes, Butler is way off the fantasy radar.

Sun Nov 21 201005:22Butler leaves game with finger injury
Rasual Butler scored six points on 2-of-3 shooting (all shots were threes) with three rebounds, one assist, and two blocks before leaving with a finger injury on Saturday.
He has seen his fantasy value vanish with Al-Farouq's ascension to the starting lineup, and now Ryan Gomes is the starter with Butler left as the odd man out. Injured or not, he belongs on waivers.

Thu Nov 11 201000:56Rasual Butler leads Clips with 18 points
Rasual Butler hit 7-of-14 shots and three 3-pointers for a season high of 18 points and five rebounds in a loss to the Spurs.
He came in averaging just 8 ppg and got his second start in place of injured Eric Gordon. EG is hoping to return on Friday, which will hurt Butler's minutes enough to leave him on waiver wires. Just keep an eye on him.
