MINNEAPOLIS — Jimmy Butler said he was ready to practice again Thursday, a day after he memorably returned to the Timberwolves and confronted teammates and the front office.

Except there was no practice.

The Wolves canceled their previously scheduled practice and media availability set for Thursday.

Instead, Butler reportedly held a players-only meeting Thursday in which he aired “his feelings toward (the) situation and management,” per a tweet from The Athletic.

The same tweet said Butler “expressed to players he would compete with them, as signs pointing to him staying with the franchise into the regular season.”
