Jimmy Butler Might Be Out Again Wednesday
2 years agoMiami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's clash against the Lakers. He has already missed two of the last three games and could be absent again as he tries to recover from a right ankle sprain. Injuries have left a big mark on Butler's season, with him having played in only 21 games so far. Max Strus re-entered the starting unit with Butler out on Monday against Minnesota and led the team in scoring with 19 points. The 26-year-old is now averaging 14.4 points with 3.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists as a starter this campaign. He should be a busy man again Wednesday if Butler remains out, while Tyler Herro and Kyle Lowry are expected to do more offensively as well.
