The Chicago Bulls have confirmed that Jimmy Butler will miss their upcoming road trip after being diagnosed with a toe sprain.

The guard sustained the injury during the team's game against the Charlotte Bobcats earlier this week.

Butler will not play a part in the team's next five games, which are all away from home.

The 24-year-old has averaged 11.2 points per game in his nine appearances for the Bulls this season.
