Jimmy Butler is dealing with an MCL sprain he suffered when facing the Philadelphia 76ers in the play-in tournament on April 17. The Heat began their playoff run without Butler in their rotation, losing 114-94 to the Boston Celtics on Sunday.
According to Shams Charania, who was speaking via FanDuel TV’s ‘Run it Back,’ Butler is expected to miss the entirety of Miami’s series against the Celtics.
“He is not gonna be back in this series,” Charania said. “This is a rehab that’s gonna go at least one month. It’s seriously remarkable to me that he played three quarters on this injury.”
