Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler is expected to be sidelined for several weeks with a right MCL injury suffered in Wednesday's play-in tournament loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Butler was hurt on the final play of the first quarter in Philadelphia. He remained in the game but scored a total of 12 points the rest of the way on 3-for-14 shooting, as Miami surrendered a 12-point halftime lead in Philadelphia's 105-104 victory.
