Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler will miss Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets because of a tailbone contusion.
This will mark the first time since Nov. 15 that Butler will be out of the lineup.
Butler suffered a sprained ankle during Miami's 120-117 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Nov. 10. He did play the entire first quarter, scoring seven points, but head coach Erik Spoelstra held him for the rest of the game.
Spoelstra told reporters after the game the Heat were waiting until the five-time All-Star could undergo more tests before providing an update on his availability going forward.
