Impact Butler missed the last four games due to a wrist injury but is making progress in his recovery. The team hasn't indicated whether he'll be available for Saturday's game against UNLV, but if he's available, he could see increased playing time since Trey Pulliam (illness) has been ruled out.

X-rays determine broken wrist Butler suffered a broken wrist in Tuesday's 72-47 victory over Long Beach State, Mark Zeigler of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.

Impact The injury expects to leave the Aztecs without their primary point guard for roughly a month, though the timing is a bit fortunate with fewer games on the schedule due to the holidays and end-of-semester exams. Helping his case is the fact that he isn't expected to require surgery. Butler had been factoring in as more of a scorer in his second season with the program, increasing his shooting percentages across the board while posting 9.7 ppg. That scoring will now presumably fall in the hands of Keith Dinwiddie and Adam Seiko, while Trey Pulliam will likely take on more ball-handling reps.
