Jazz's Jared Butler: Appears in blowout loss

Butler (ankle) finished with zero points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one assist across seven minutes Friday in the Jazz's 124-90 loss to the Pelicans.

After missing the previous three games with the ankle injury, Butler was eased back into action Friday in garbage time, as he didn't check into the contest until the Jazz were trailing by 26 points with just over seven minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. The rookie second-round pick out of Baylor doesn't look as though he'll be included in head coach Quin Snyder's rotation in competitive games.
