Jimmy Butler To Miss Third Straight Game
1 month agoMiami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Butler is set to miss his third straight game due to a sprained right ankle. It's uncertain how long Butler is going to be sidelined, but his next chance to play is a rematch against the Pacers on Sunday. The absence of Butler will mean Tyler Herro will be asked to do more of the heavy lifting on offense. Also, Haywood Highsmith is expected to remain in the starting five. Highsmith has been quiet over the last two games, but has some low-end streaming appeal with Butler sidelined.
