Spurs Assign Da’sean Butler To Austin Toros
SAN ANTONIO (March 28, 2011) – The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they have assigned rookie Da’Sean Butler to the Austin Toros of the NBA Development League.
Butler, a 6-7, 230-pound forward out of the University of West Virginia, was signed by the Spurs on March 25. He was originally selected by the Miami Heat with the 42nd pick in the 2010 NBA Draft. He signed with the Heat on August 30 and was later waived on October 25. He has been out of action since suffering a torn left ACL in the 2010 Final Four against Duke on April 3. Butler played four seasons with the Mountaineers, finishing with 107 career wins, the most in school history. As a senior, he was named First Team All-Big East, averaging a team-high 17.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 38 games.
The Toros travel to Reno to take on the Bighorns Tuesday, March 29 at 9:00 p.m. before returning home to face the Texas Legends Thursday, March 31 and Saturday, April 2 at the Cedar Park Center in the final two regular season games.

Game getting ready to start.
Lyons has a nice looking shot.
No Butler sighting yet. First quarter almost over.
Toros getting worked right now. Reno has a lot of size.
Reno up by five at the end of the first. Perhaps we see Butler to start the second.
He said he won't play tonight?

Ahh...ok. I guess the NBADL site needs to follow him on twitter.
Looks like Butler signed a 2 year deal with the Spurs.

Former West Virginia basketball star Da'Sean Butler didn't play in his NBA Development League debut against the Reno Bighorns on Tuesday night. Butler informed Mountaineer nation that he wouldn't be playing for the Austin Toros on his twitter account stating, "I am not playing 2nite every1..."
Butler signed a two year deal with the San Antonio Spurs last week and was originally placed on the inactive list so he could continue rehabing his knee which he injured in the 2010 Final Four. He was recently cleared for action and assigned to the Spurs' NBA D-League affiliate on Monday.
The Toros lost to Reno 102-98. Austin is currently 2 games behind Fort Wayne for the eighth and final playoff position, have two regular season games remaining and both are against the Texas Legends. That will mean Butler can face-off against former teammate Joe Alexander who plays for the Legends.
