Jimmy Butler twisted his right ankle in the third quarter of the Miami Heat’s loss to the Golden State Warriors Monday night. Just last week, in Miami’s Dec. 28 win over the Washington Wizards, Butler also rolled his right ankle.
Butler has dealt with nagging injuries since joining the Miami Heat in 2019. Just earlier this season, he injured his tailbone in a Nov. 27 win over the Chicago Bulls. He then re-aggravated his tailbone in Miami’s Dec. 6 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies.
