Jimmy Butler suffered a tear to his right meniscus on Friday which wasn't as bad as originally thought when the expectation was that he suffered a torn ACL. However, it's a little worse after there was an MRI which came back negative. Butler will miss between four to six weeks with the injury post surgery. Nemanja Bjelica will start in his place.

Fantasy Impact:
Bjelica benefits greatly in minutes and value with Butler out while Jeff Teague, Andrew Wiggins, Taj Gibson, and Karl Anthony-Towns also benefit. Marcus Georges-Hunt, Tyus Jones, and Jamal Crawford also benefit and pick up more minutes.
