Jimmy Butler to miss significant time with injury in playoff-altering blow
NY Post
The Heat are on ice.
Miami star Jimmy Butler is expected to miss multiple weeks with an MCL injury he suffered in the Heat’s 105-104 play-in game loss to the 76ers on Wednesday night, according to multiple reports.
That means that Butler will not be on the court when the Heat take on the Bulls on Friday night in a play-in game that will decide who advances to the NBA playoffs as the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference.
It is believed Butler suffered the injury after taking a hard fall at the end of the first quarter while getting fouled going up for a layup.
Butler, however, played through the injury.
The veteran forward logged 40 minutes, scoring 19 points with four rebounds and five assists.
