Ivan Carter wrote:Caron Butler, Jamison's teammate on the Wizards and on the Eastern Conference all-star team, also revealed something. Butler said that had Jamison not snapped the team's eight-game losing streak with a miraculous, game-winning tip-in against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, he would've felt compelled to come back too soon from his strained left hip flexor.
"If we had lost another game, I would have no choice but to come back after the all-star break and play through pain," said Butler, who will sit out Sunday's All-Star Game. "It's a big relief. I'm going to take my time and make sure I'm healthy. I don't want this to be something that lingers on through the rest of the season."
Sounds like Butler might not be back after the All Star break.
