Butler suffered the injury in Wednesday night’s Play-In Tournament loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.
Jimmy Butler did not look like himself for much of the Miami Heat’s Play-In Tournament loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday night. While Butler played 40 minutes, he never looked like he was able to shake a knee injury that he suffered in the waning moments of the first quarter when Kelly Oubre accidentally collided with his leg while trying to contest a shot.
Jimmy Butler went down hard on this play and grabbed his knee.
