Jimmy Butler Latest News
Uncertain to play Saturday
Butler, who left Friday's game against the Thunder due to an illness, will not travel with the team to Orlando, and his status for Saturday's game for the Magic is uncertain, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Butler rolled his ankle in the first quarter of Friday's game, and he was ruled out shortly after due to a stomach bug, per NBA reporter Chris Haynes. While Butler won't travel with the Heat, Winderman relays that the All-Star wing could rejoin the team in time to be ready for Saturday's 7:00 p.m. ET tipoff. Jaime Jaquez started for Butler in the second half of Friday's game, and the former could be in the Heat's starting lineup if the latter is unable to play Saturday.
Won't return Friday
Butler (illness) won't return to Friday's game against the Thunder, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports. He finished the game scoreless (0-0 FG, 0-0 FT) and with two assists. Butler initially limped off the field following a collision, but he was feeling ill afterward due to a stomach bug, according to NBA reporter Chris Haynes, and the Heat won't risk having him continue to play. Terry Rozier, Pelle Larsson and Jaime Jaquez are expected to see minutes with Butler sidelined.
Heads to locker room
Butler went to the locker room in the first quarter of Friday's game against the Thunder due to an ankle injury, Joel Lorenzi of The Oklahoman reports. Butler turned his ankle while colliding with Luguentz Dort, and the former walked back to the locker room afterwards. Terry Rozier, Pelle Larsson and Jaime Jaquez would be slated to see increased playing time Friday if Butler is unable to return.
Does it all in triple-double outing
Butler logged 35 points (12-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 19 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and four steals in 44 minutes during Monday's 125-124 overtime loss to the Pistons. Butler did all he could to try and help Miami to an overtime win Monday, leading all players in the contest in points and rebounds while posting a team-high assist total in a triple-double performance. Butler set new season highs in scoring, rebounds and assists, and he has finished with 30 or more points in three contests.
Good to go against Toronto
Butler (knee) is available for Thursday's game versus the Raptors. Butler has been upgraded from probable to available Friday despite dealing with right knee soreness. There is no indication that the star forward will operate on a minutes restriction.
Considered probable for Thursday
Butler (right knee soreness) is probable to play Thursday versus Toronto. Butler has suited up in three consecutive contests, averaging 19.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists and 32.7 minutes per game over that span. His addition to Wednesday's injury report likely pertains more to maintenance at practice than an aggravation of any kind, but his status will need to be monitored.
Will play Sunday
Butler (knee) is available for Sunday's game against Cleveland, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Butler will give it a go following a probable tag due to right knee soreness ahead of Sunday's matchup. The star forward has appeared in two consecutive outings since missing last Monday's loss to Boston, amassing 41 points, 16 rebounds, nine assists, two steals and two blocks across 63 total minutes.
Likely to suit up Sunday
Butler is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to right knee soreness. Butler is likely to play in the second leg of the Heat's back-to-back set after posting 24 points (9-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block in 34 minutes during Saturday's win over the Suns. The star forward has appeared in four of Miami's last five matchups, during which he averaged 21.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.3 steals across 32.8 minutes per contest.
Posts 24 points in victory
Butler accumulated 24 points (9-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block in 34 minutes during Saturday's 121-111 win over the Suns. Butler has recorded solid results since returning from a one-game absence, but the veteran has experienced frustrating peaks and valleys with his production. He was able to handle an injury-depleted Phoenix squad with ease, but Butler could use more shot volume and a slightly better field-goal percentage as he progresses through his 14th NBA season.
