Jimmy Butler Dealing With An Ankle Sprain
2 years agoMiami Heat forward Jimmy Butler was forced to exit Friday's matchup against Indiana with a sprained ankle. He rolled his right ankle in the first quarter and was initially able to play through the injury, but Butler didn't see any action after the third quarter. He logged 28 minutes and had a great outing in general with 20 points, six rebounds, three assists and two steals. Health issues have troubled Butler all season long, leading to him missing 12 of the team's 33 games. It's currently unclear if Butler is set for another spell on the sidelines. As he initially managed to stay on the court, it's possible that the injury isn't very severe and Butler will be able to play Monday versus Minnesota.
