They say laughter is the best medicine.
That's why Jimmy Butler wore a makeshift eyepatch following Thursday's 99-93 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
"I look like One-Eyed Willy from 'The Goonies,'" the Chicago Bulls small forward told reporters postgame.

Butler was poked in his left peeper by Iman Shumpert in the first half. Despite barely being able to see through that eye, he played in the second half and helped the Bulls sweep the regular-season series with the Cavs 4-0.
He's not wrong.
