The Miami Heat have ruled Jimmy Butler out for Tuesday night's Game 2 against the New York Knicks due to a sprained ankle.
Butler injured his ankle with 5:05 left in the fourth quarter of Sunday afternoon's Game 1 victory. He drove to his right on Knicks guard Josh Hart.
As Butler felt contact from Hart, he rose up for a shot. Hart fell but as he did, he kicked Butler's right ankle. Butler fell to the ground in a heap and immediately grabbed at his foot. He was on the floor for a few minutes before gingerly walking toward the Heat bench.
