Rasual Butler: Will be released
The Timberwolves informed Butler on Saturday that he would be released, Darren Wolfson of KTSP-TV reports.
Butler had made NBA rosters in each of the last three seasons despite not receiving a fully-guaranteed contract in any of those years, but that streak came to an end Saturday. The veteran's reliability from the three-point line could allow him to latch on somewhere else around the league, though at 37 years old, Butler may also view retirement as an option.

Timberwolves' Rasual Butler: Signs camp deal with Wolves
Butler signed a non-guaranteed contract with the Timberwolves on Thursday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.
Butler will now attempt to make the Wolves' final roster out of training camp, potentially filling the void left by Kevin Garnett, who is reportedly working toward a contract settlement with Minnesota. In each of the last three seasons, Butler has begun the year on a non-guaranteed or partially guaranteed contract and has been able to earn his way onto the roster for the Pacers (2013-14), Wizards (2014-15) and Spurs (2015-16). Last season, Butler appeared in 46 games for San Antonio, averaging 2.7 points and 1.2 rebounds in 9.4 minutes per game. As he enters his age-37 season, Butler is unlikely to provide more than veteran bench depth for the Timberwolves, should he ultimately make the roster.

Spurs' Rasual Butler: Waived by Spurs
Butler was waived by the Spurs on Wednesday, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.
The move comes in response to the team needing to clear a spot for Kevin Martin, who agreed to sign with the Spurs over the weekend. Butler was far from a fixture in the rotation this season, but he appeared in 46 games, averaging 2.7 points and 1.2 rebounds in 9.4 minutes. The 36-year-old won't be eligible for the postseason, so he's unlikely to find a new home until the offseason.

Spurs' Rasual Butler: Scores two points in blowout win
Butler played 11 minutes and provided two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and two assists in Monday's 119-101 win over the Heat.
Butler has seen double-digit minutes in two of the last three games, but went unused in the Spurs' more closely-contested win over the Lakers on Feb. 6. As such, Butler's appearances are likely to be limited to games where the outcome is already well in hand, so don't count on his minutes being consistent.
