Sounds like Butler is gonna be okay

I am currently dealing with a shoulder issue (no torn labrum) and there is no way I could even pass a basketball, let alone play in a game at any level. If he can play like he has since coming back, I doubt it is that serious. They wouldn't have played him if it were. Probably some kind of nagging issue that gets better with rest, physical therapy and meds. You will be billed for my expert opinion on this matter.
Yeah, if he had a torn labrum, there is zero chance he could do even half the things he did Tuesday night.

That steal on the Lanier runout was awesome enough, but Butler took a couple dribbles and sent a rocket of a two handed pass up the court for a dunk. You can't do that with a torn labrum.
 
IMO having Butler healthy is one of the single most important things that will determine rest of how this season goes.

Defensively he's very good and that's something we sorely need on this team.
Offensively his ability to get to the rim and more importantly not turn the ball over is massive.
