Miami Heat star forward Jimmy Butler was ruled out for the remainder of Saturday night's Game 3 with knee inflammation, per Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium.
Butler played 20 of 24 first-half minutes for the Heat, scoring eight points. But he was ruled out for the duration of the game at halftime.
It's been that kind of season for Butler, who most recently missed Miami's Game 5 97-94 series-clinching win against the Atlanta Hawks with knee right knee inflammation.
"The training staff just made the determination that he will not be available tonight," head coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters at the time.
