Jimmy Butler Remains Out On Thursday
1 day agoMiami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (conditioning) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against Orlando. It was already unlikely that Butler would suit up for the contest after Miami listed him as doubtful on the initial injury report. Now, it's official that he will be unavailable for a third straight game. However, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that Butler is expected to rejoin the lineup for the next game on Saturday versus Atlanta. Butler's absence has opened up additional playing opportunities for several players, including Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Haywood Highsmith. Meanwhile, Bam Adebayo, Tyler Herro, and Duncan Robinson
have more offensive duties.
