4 years agoMiami Heat shooting guard/small forward Jimmy Butler and shooting guard Avery Bradley have been ruled out ahead of Saturday's contest versus the Pistons under the league's health and safety protocols. While six of their teammates progressed to questionable for the game, Butler and Bradley remain succinctly out, which doesn't bode well for an imminent return to action. The duo will be missing their third straight game with Duncan Robinson, Tyler Herro (neck), and Gabe Vincent (knee) all likely to continue seeing extended roles so long as the veterans are unavailable. The next chance that either has at returning to action comes Monday against Detroit, although their status remains distinctly up in the air.--Jesse Borek
