Butler forward Matt Howard will likely be a game-time decision for Monday's NCAA Tournament championship game against Duke due to a mild concussion.

Butler head coach Brad Stevens said Howard, who hit his head in Saturday's national semifinal victory over Michigan State, was held out of Sunday's practice. Stevens said the team is keeping Howard under observation.

Howard finished with four points in 15 minutes against the Spartans, but has been in integral part of Butler's success this season, averaging 11.6 points and 5.2 rebounds per game.
