Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler exits early against Golden State Warriors with ankle injury

SAN FRANCISCO -- The Miami Heat ruled forward Jimmy Butler out with a right ankle injury not long after he needed help to get off the floor and into the locker room late in the third quarter of a 115-108 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Monday.

Butler sustained the injury when he went to plant his right foot on a move, but also appeared to lose his footing. He fell to the floor while holding the ball and was in pain as play was stopped with 3:14 left in the third quarter.
