Jimmy Butler Will Sit Tuesday Against Celtics
4 years agoMiami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Boston Celtics. Butler is dealing with ankle soreness and will be forced to sit out after playing 33 minutes against the Toronto Raptors on Monday. This is a huge loss for Miami as they are just 2.5 games back from the Celtics for the third seed in the Eastern Conference. Without Butler, Kelly Olynyk, Derrick Jones and Andre Iguodala should all see an uptick in playing time. Goran Dragic could potentially move to the starting lineup, but the starters have yet to be announced.
