INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Butler forward Matt Howard will miss Thursday night’s game against Wright State with a mild concussion.
Spokesman Jim McGrath says team doctors will continue to evaluate Howard and are “hopeful” he will play Saturday against Detroit.
Howard left Monday’s game against Illinois-Chicago after a blow to the head left him bloodied and dazed. He is the Bulldogs’ top scorer at 17.8 points per game and their leading rebounder at 7.8.

Butler is 16-9 (8-5 Horizon) and tied for fourth in the conference this season.
