According to Shams Charania’s information, Jimmy Butler has suffered a serious knee injury, and there are suspicions that it involves ligament tears.
The Miami Heat will seek their chance to qualify for the NBA playoffs in a duel against the Chicago Bulls, but they will face this match without the help of Jimmy Butler, who is expected to have a longer break. The superstar of the Florida team has suffered a knee injury that will keep him off the court for at least a few weeks.
It is expected that Jimmy Butler will undergo an MRI during the day, after which it will be determined whether ligament tears have occurred. If it turns out that there is such an injury, it is clear that the Miami Heat player will face a several-month break.
Butler was injured during the first quarter of the game against the Philadelphia 76ers but “gritted his teeth” and helped his team until the end of the game as much as possible.
“Ugh, I felt it. He fell on my knee, and it didn’t feel good. It’s not a good feeling, I can tell you that. I felt like I couldn’t do much, which sucks considering the timing of the game and everything. I hope I’ll be okay. I hope I wake up tomorrow and can stand and walk. Right now, I can’t say that’s the case,” Butler said after the game.
Jimmy Butler averages 20.8 points per game in the current NBA season.
