The banged up Chicago Bulls will have to get by without another key player, with All-Star guard Jimmy Butler joining former MVP Derrick Rose on the sideline.

The Bulls announced on Monday that Butler will miss three to six weeks because of a sprained ligament in his left elbow, the latest blow for a team that has rarely been at full strength this season.

"I guess when it rains, it pours," veteran Kirk Hinrich said. "We can't sit around and feel sorry for ourselves. Nobody else is going to. We've got to find a way."
