Jared Butler News, Rumors, Updates - Phoenix Suns

Set to play against Milwaukee Butler (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Bucks.

Impact Butler has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a left ankle sprain. The 23-year-old guard should continue to serve as one of Washington's first options off the bench in the backcourt.

Dealing with ankle sprain Butler is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks due to a left ankle sprain.

Impact Butler has played 20-plus minutes in eight of Washington's last nine matchups, averaging 7.9 points, 4.8 assists, 2.1 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game. If he's sidelined, Johnny Davis would likely see an uptick in playing time.

Career-best distribution effort Butler racked up eight points (3-12 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, 13 assists, two blocks and two steals in 27 minutes during Monday's 107-105 victory over Chicago.

Impact The 13 dimes were a career high for Butler, who continues to do a solid job filling in for Tyus Jones (back) in the Washington backcourt. Over the six games Jones has missed so far, Butler has averaged 23.5 minutes a contest with 8.5 points, 5.3 assists, 2.2 boards and 1.2 steals, although his 38.9 percent shooting from the floor and 18.2 percent from long distance (4-for-22) highlight his limitations.

Flirts with double-double in loss Butler registered 15 points (7-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 137-114 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Butler put forth his best game of the season, continuing to see an enlarged role down the stretch. He has now played at least 20 minutes in three straight games, averaging 9.3 points and 5.3 assists in that time. He isn't someone we ned to be prioritizing just yet but if his role sticks much longer, he could be worth a flier in slightly deeper formats.

Scores six points in 10 minutes Butler posted six points (3-4 FG), two assists and one steal over 10 minutes during Tuesday's 109-97 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Butler moved back into the rotation Tuesday, logging 10 minutes off the bench. Despite playing on a team with very little incentive, Butler has barely seen the court over the past two months. He can be ignored in all formats.

Puts up 12 points Butler ended with 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 FT), four assists and two steals over 19 minutes during Monday's 146-101 loss to Philadelphia.

Impact Butler reached double figures for the second time this campaign and finished one point shy of his season-best mark (13). He has seen a slight uptick in minutes with Landry Shamet (ribs) missing the last three games for Washington, and due to the lopsided score Monday, Butler played a season-high 19 minutes and made the most of his opportunity.

Impresses off bench Butler finished with 13 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 16 minutes during Saturday's 136-108 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Butler had played a total of 12 minutes in four appearances coming into Saturday's game, but he got a rare opportunity with Jordan Poole (ankle) missing his first game of the season. The Wizards are reeling with a 2-14 record and could easily make some changes to their rotation, so Butler is someone to watch after he gave the coaching staff something to think about Saturday night.

Racks up career-high 10 dimes Butler ended Wednesday's 137-101 win over Oklahoma City with seven points (3-13 FG, 1-9 3Pt), six rebounds, 10 assists and three steals across 30 minutes.

Impact Butler didn't play in either of Utah's previous two games, but he got an opportunity to log significant minutes Wednesday thanks to Donovan Mitchell's (rest) absence and the lopsided nature of the contest. The rookie guard responded with the first double-double of his NBA career and career-best marks in both rebounds and assists. Butler doesn't figure to be a big part of the team's playoff rotation, however, as he averaged only 5.5 minutes in the previous four games in which he appeared.
