Jimmy Butler (knee) ruled out again for Heat on Wednesday
Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards.
What It Means:
Butler will remain out for a fourth consecutive game and his next chance to play will be on Friday against the Wizards. Max Strus (shoulder) and Duncan Robinson (ankle) will join Butler on the sidelines, and Tyler Herro (ankle) and Gabe Vincent (knee) are questionable. Kyle Lowry and Caleb Martin will likely be asked to play as many minutes as they can handle if Herro and Vincent are also out.
Butler has the third-highest usage rate on the Heat (23.0%) and he's averaging 42.3 FanDuel points in 35.7 minutes per game this season.
