[Charania] Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler is feared to have an MCL injury in his knee, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. The injury could sideline Butler for an indefinite period. MRI to come.

    Welp. Don’t know how he played through 3 more quarters of basketball if it’s serious.

    Terry, we need you more than ever.

  2. Shmoopy65

    No hate to jimmy but why was he even out there after he got hurt? He really couldnā€™t do anything

  3. thejman218

    Itā€™s never been more over than it is now

  4. TheDVAismadinVA

    Explains his disappearance down the stretch at least. Shit.

  5. sharpshooter0600

    If he’s hurt just sell the last game and get us a lottery pick

  6. Sad-Dragonfly-4016

    Yep. Play the scrubs on Friday. Please donā€™t win. Rebuild in the offseason

  7. surgeyou123

    Coast all season just to get hurt in the first big game. This is some cruel karma. Friday feels even more irrelevant now.

  8. Repulsive-Slice2234

    Welp, time for draft/trade talk.

    Hopefully it isnā€™t that bad but at this point we have no cushion as a team.

  9. best player hurt in a pointless ā€œplay inā€ game while we are 7 games ahead of the 9 seed. Fuck Adam Silver man this league is fucking terrible under his leadership

  10. SenorButtmunch

    Shitty way to end this shitty season. Perhaps fortunately, MCL is nowhere near as bad as ACL. Time to just focus on not running it back. Enough is enough.

    Playoffs are all but over but it was never gonna be like last season with the team so injured and disrupted (and flawed as a roster, although that’s a different conversation.)

  11. thewhitelink

    Just trade Jimmy and Herro, get whatever picks you can, and target someone in the draft.

    Bam, JJJ, Rozier, and Jovic is solid. Pair them with some solid vets and draft selections.

  12. ThickArepa

    Jimmy gave us everything he had I love this man

  13. stilloriginal

    I guess heā€™ll have to re-join the team in the finals

  14. SnooPears316

    Damn Jimmy šŸ„ŗ. Fuck you Obre. Much love to you Jimmy get better ā˜ļøā€¼ļøšŸ

  15. phinsphan1313

    Championship window officially closed. Fuck Pat Riley for doing nothing to get us over the hump in the entire Jimmy era

  16. Severe-Vermicelli-71

    Win or lose Friday, Jimmy isn’t playing against the Celtics, and thats the season folks. Very fitting end to everything with 2 guys out and a 3rd guy getting hurt in a game we end up blowing in the 4th quarter.

  17. ChiefSoldierFrog

    This man really toughed out 3 quarters with an MCL injury. Chapeau to Jimmy.

  18. Heatsincebirth

    We win next game without him. Go down 0-3 to Boston but he returns and we beat Boston in 7, we sweep the Bucks with the Same trade package outscoring Dame every game and then Bam averages 30/10/10 against the Sixers to advance for a rematch with the Lakers where Jimbo G Buckets hits the game 7 winning shot with a 3 as time expires…

    We are the champions and He’s a LEGEND!!

    Someone tell me I’m wrong Dammit!!!!!!

  19. MargielaMan568

    Sucks. He was actually looking like a REAL two way star before he got hurt. This is why I hated us being in the play in because you never know what may happen

  20. Severe-Vermicelli-71

    Serious knee injury could tank all of next year for Jimmy. Not to mention he is 34, and a UFD after next season.

  21. entropy14

    Iā€™m hoping Riley and company realize we need to move on from this iteration of the team. Two straight years of stagnant offense, blown leads, and 8 seeds isnā€™t going to cut it. Itā€™s been a great run but itā€™s just time to move on.

  22. OhMyItzBam_Herro305

    I’m gonna be sad, and probably cry this really sucks this was our last chance to get Jimmy a championship ring. And now it all ends the to fucking Oubre and REFS and Herro selling.

  23. TheRatchetTrombone

    Welp if its the end, then I think it will end like this:

    Spolestra will be forced to rely on Bam, Herro, Jovic, and the young guys to lead now. This is the ultimate trial by fire now for the young guys to emerge. Copium, hope, or whatever, this felt like an inevitably; now, we embrace it and face it head on. Honestly, I want to see us go all the way strangely enough and think we can. I wait to see how the wind blows now that we aren’t forced to rely on Jimmy. Let’s get it.

  24. Ice_Dragon3444

    It’s so fucking heartbreaking man, this is not the way the Jimmy era should end.

  25. ScuderiaEnzo

    Nah just end the season. Idagf anymore tbh.

  26. garret126

    I donā€™t care. Iā€™m still confident weā€™ll win against the Bulls/Hawks and then the Celtics. Heat in 4

  27. just4kix_305

    Eff it, it’s the Bam, Niko, Tyler & Jaime show on Friday. Let’s see how our young core does.

  28. MediocreDVaMain

    Untimely injuries have been the story of this era, shit’s is so unfortunate because the team has been so close to the end goal only for freak injuries to happen all the time.

  29. masterace01

    Dis where stars are born JJJ. Go be your favorite player.

  30. Gross… especially in a play-in game that could have easily been avoided had we taken things seriously down the stretch

  31. Uk_KingsStar

    damn, thatā€™s unfortunate. the heat culture caught up to him

  32. Prudent_Move_3420

    Well we really should have won this game, beating Boston without Jimmy would be a lot harder than beating the Knicks

    If we even beat the Bulls

  33. noblex123

    The coaching staff and health/Doc/training staff get a big F this season. You canā€™t let him play 3 quarters like that

  34. Jimmyā€™s been fucked for some time but tunnel vision got this sub fucked up
