Jimmy Butler tweaked his left ankle during the first quarter of Friday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, and was subsequently ruled out with an illness. It is not yet clear when Butler will be available to play either due to the illness or ankle. The Miami Heat play again on Saturday at the Orlando Magic and then host the Brooklyn Nets on Monday.
Butler left with 4:41 left in the first quarter. He was scoreless and finished with two assists.
Butler’s future with the Heat is uncertain amid a contract stalemate and trade rumors.
