Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler was ruled out for Tuesday's Game 5 in his team's first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks because of right knee inflammation.
Injuries have become a concern for the 32-year-old this season. He missed time with ankle issues, a tailbone injury, a toe injury and illness throughout the campaign on the way to 57 games, and the forward hasn't played more than 65 games in a season since 2016-17.
When healthy, he is one of the leaders of one of the league's best teams.
Butler is a six-time All-Star, four-time All-NBA selection and five-time All-Defensive selection who can impact the game in a number of ways.
