After getting through a full practice on Thursday, word is that Jimmy Butler and Taj Gibson could be back as early as Saturday against Detroit but also maybe playing Monday against the Hornets.
Butler and Gibson practiced fully. Rose did non-contact. Butler and Gibson "getting closer." Guessing Saturday or Monday.

Getting Butler and Gibson back so soon will be huge for the final-stretch of the season. Gibson, who has dealt with ankle sprains, would add front-court help. Meanwhile, Butler, one of the most improved players in the league, would regain his shooting guard spot over E’Twaun Moore/Kirk Hinrich.
