  • Heat's Jimmy Butler: Considered probable for Thursday

    Butler has suited up in three consecutive contests, averaging 19.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 4.7 assists and 32.7 minutes per game over that span. His addition to Wednesday's injury report likely pertains more to maintenance at practice than an aggravation of any kind, but his status will need to be monitored.

  • Heat's Jimmy Butler: Likely to suit up Sunday

    Butler is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to right knee soreness.

    Butler is likely to play in the second leg of the Heat's back-to-back set after posting 24 points (9-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block in 34 minutes during Saturday's win over the Suns.

  • Heat's Jimmy Butler: Posts 24 points in victory

    Butler accumulated 24 points (9-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block in 34 minutes during Saturday's 121-111 win over the Suns.

    Butler has recorded solid results since returning from a one-game absence, but the veteran has experienced frustrating peaks and valleys with his production. He was able to handle an injury-depleted Phoenix squad with ease, but Butler could use more shot volume and a slightly better field-goal percentage as he progresses through his 14th NBA season.

  • Heat's Jimmy Butler: Good to go Saturday vs. Phoenix

  • Heat's Jimmy Butler: Likely in for Saturday

    Butler (knee) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Suns.

    After missing a matchup due to a right knee injury, Butler returned to game action during Wednesday's win over the Lakers, in which he supplied 17 points (8-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block across 29 minutes. The star forward is back on the injury report due to right knee soreness, though he is expected to play.

  • Heat's Jimmy Butler: Iffy for Wednesday

    Butler (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.

    Butler sat out the second half of Miami's back-to-back set Monday in Boston after experiencing soreness in his right knee during Sunday's loss in Toronto. If he can suit up, the All-Star forward may not have any limitations. Over his last six appearances, Butler has averaged 22.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 0.8 steals in 33.7 minutes per game.

  • Heat's Jimmy Butler: Ruled out for Monday

    Butler (knee) is listed out for Monday's game against the Celtics.

    Butler suffered a right knee injury Sunday against the Raptors, but the good news for Miami is that his diagnosis is soreness according to the injury report. With Butler sitting out Monday, players such as Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier could see a bump in usage, while Jaime Jaquez could offer more upside in fantasy formats as well. For now, Butler should be considered questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

  • Heat's Jimmy Butler: Tweaks knee late Sunday

    Butler suffered an apparent right knee injury while driving to the basket with 1:27 remaining in Sunday's 119-116 loss to the Raptors and acknowledged afterward that he's uncertain to play in Monday's game in Boston, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. "I don't know," Butler said Sunday, when asked about whether he would miss time due to the knee issue. "I ain't even there yet. I'm, just happy to be able to put this sleeve on [the knee], do all this treatment. We'll see how I feel whenever I wake up in the morning, get all the treatment that I can get and hopefully I'm ready to rock."

    Butler looked to be in pain and was favoring the knee after falling to the floor when he was fouled by the Raptors' Davion Mitchell on a drive to the basket. He converted the field-goal attempt and stayed in the game to hit the ensuing free throw, but with the knee issue affecting his mobility, Butler headed to the bench with 24 seconds remaining in the contest. He finished the contest with 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 34 minutes. Given that Butler previously dealt with an MCL sprain in his right knee late last season and missed the Heat's first-round playoff series loss to the Celtics as a result, fantasy managers should prepare for the possibility that the star forward misses time.

  • Heat's Jimmy Butler: Will be available Friday

    Butler (back) is available for Friday's game against the Raptors, Eric Koreen of The Athletic reports.

    The Heat will be close to full strength Friday, with Butler leading the way after he was listed as probable on Thursday's injury report. Since missing four games with an ankle injury in mid-November, Butler is averaging 23.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 0.5 steals per game.

  • Heat's Jimmy Butler: Scores 26 points Friday

    Butler logged 26 points (8-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Friday's 121-111 victory over the Raptors.

    Butler has been slightly disappointing in most formats this season, but he delivered one of his most efficient performances of the campaign Friday. He's been turning things around of late, and the veteran has scored at least 23 points in four of his last five appearances since returning from a four-game absence in mid-November.

  • Heat's Jimmy Butler: Expected to play Friday

    Butler is probable for Friday's game against the Raptors due to back tightness.

    Butler posted six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 98-94 win over the Hornets before exiting due to a tight back. It appears the veteran's removal was simply precautionary, and he should be back in action Friday. Before Wednesday's game, Butler had scored at least 23 points in three straight appearances, averaging 28.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists in 36.3 minutes per game.

  • Heat's Jimmy Butler: Battles back issue Wednesday

    Butler provided six points (2-2 FG, 2-2 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists in 25 minutes during Wednesday's 98-94 win over the Hornets before sitting out the final 14:57 of the game due to a tight back, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

    Despite the limited playing time, Butler drilled two triples before his exit late in the third quarter, nearly matching his combined total (three) from his first 11 appearances of the season. With head coach Erik Spoelstra opting to stay away from Butler in the fourth quarter, the Heat turned to Haywood Highsmith, Duncan Robinson and Jaime Jaquez to help fill the vacated minutes. Butler should be viewed as day-to-day heading into the Heat's next game Friday versus the Raptors.
