Heat List Jimmy Butler As Questionable
6 months agoMiami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Indiana Pacers. Butler has sat out Miami's last two contests due to a right ankle sprain, and his status remains up in the air once more for Wednesday's tilt. The 34-year-old superstar is piling up 20.7 points, 4.0 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.2 threes in 33.3 minutes covering 14 games this season, which is nearly good for third-round fantasy value in 12-team category leagues. The Heat have a rematch with the Pacers on Saturday, which could mark Butler's next date to return if he is ruled out. Jaime Jaquez Jr., Josh Richardson, and Caleb Martin are all options to pick up Butler's slack if he is out again on Thursday, while Bam Adebayo would absorb all the usage he can handle in this case.
