5:40 EST…..Dave Johnson checking in from Chicago…..Good pratice today. Yes it is disappointing that Caron Butler is not joining us on this trip, but we know he has a partial tear of the labrum on his left hip and we should know more next week. The key is  that Butler is resting and he has been feeling better. Just cross your fingers that we get a hopeful sign next week….Eddie Jordan said today at practice…..”You know Caron is very special to us. I am not going to talk about the injury and the timing and all of that.But as a player and as human being, he means a lot to us. We just have to go forward with the guys we have.” And Jordan added….”Last I looked we are 2-2 our last four. We split two road games. We would  like to be ready for tomorrow night’s game. I think if we play well we have a chance to win.If we win  we would be 3-2 over a five game stretch with two wins on the road.”..It was a non contact practice and Gilbert Arenas particpated in the whole work out….There is no timetable on his return but it is just great to see him in practice gear and running the show……
