Jimmy Butler Now Out On Sunday Afternoon
10 months agoMiami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (personal) won't play on Sunday afternoon versus Boston. He was listed as questionable as of Saturday evening. However, the team allowed him time away to deal with the death of a family member. Miami has a back-to-back left on the schedule heading into the All-Star break. While nothing has been confirmed, it's possible Butler won't be back until the February 23 clash with the New Orleans Pelicans. Nonetheless, Jaime Jaquez Jr. could find his way back into the starting lineup against the C's, giving him a higher-than-usual fantasy ceiling. Of course, Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo, and Terry Rozier are the favorites to do most of the heavy lifting offensively until Butler is back in the equation.
