Sat May 6 202310:12Jimmy Butler Remains Questionable For Game 3

He sat out in Game 2 after spraining his right ankle in the series opener, allowing Caleb Martin (back) to enter the starting lineup and finish with 22 points and eight rebounds.

If that's the case, Erik Spoelstra may move some players around, resulting in Kyle Lowry or Duncan Robinson getting expanded roles.

Sat Apr 22 202322:17Jimmy Butler injures Back In Game 3
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler (back) finished with a game-high 30 points in the Game 3 win over Milwaukee.

While Butler managed to return to the game, there's a chance he'll pop up on the injury report heading toward Game 4 on Monday night. He'll likely play if that's the case, considering Miami has the lead in the series, but he could be limited if his injury takes a turn for the worse in the coming days.

Thu Apr 20 202311:27Jimmy Butler Leads Miami In Scoring During Loss
Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler took control of the offense yet again but it wasn't enough as the team still got blown out in Game 2 on the road.
