[Charania] The expectation is Miami’s Jimmy Butler will be out multiple weeks, sources said. Butler remarkably played the final three quarters vs. 76ers last night with what is now feared to be an MCL injury.

  1. Would have loved to see what Butler and Zion could have done with more postseason run, this sucks immensely

    Boston has a clear path to the ECF

  2. Sucks. He missed so much time this year already only to have another accidental injury end his season.

  3. EatDeeply

    Not fun for me because I dont get to enjoy Boston fans having panic attacks

  4. FultzShoulder

    They would get swept by Boston without him. I’m not even sure they beat the Bulls.

  5. Poetryisalive

    So I don’t follow the heat like that. How competitive are they without Butler? They made it to the finals last year but still

    If it’s the same injury Embiid had last year against the Celtics, there’s absolutely no point rushing Butler’s return.

    Embiid rushed back after 12 days and he was just a shell of himself, especially as the game went on. He practically had no lift at the end of games, couldn’t even get his middies off.

    I hate this man. Nothing but respect for Himmy 🙁

    Celtics have to make the finals, no way they don’t.

    Some random dude from the neighborhood is about to drop 50 points tomorrow.

    Either lose the game against bulls to have better lottery pick and avoid another injury in the roster or win the play-in and let Jaime and Jovic get some experience in the Playoffs. Up to you Pat and Spo.

    He’s a trooper for playing it out yesterday. MCL injuries are no joke.

    Wasn’t meant to be this year, for whatever reason we just couldn’t seem to find that next gear in the RS. Can’t make the Finals every year, even as a Heat fan.

    Crazy how my body was craving for the playoffs to begin since the regular season is treated as a wash, just for Jimmy to get injured in the play ins. Now this team’s fate is set. There needs to be big changes in the off season cause Icarus finally caught a wave

    One tall glass of Fabuloso please. Bleach floater. Cyanide rim

    Had clowns in the game thread say he was acting and to give him an Oscar. Guy was playing hurt and it was so obvious to anyone who watches him consistently.

    That’s pretty much the season, lets see what sleepy Pat does.

    It’s pretty insane how many injuries there are at playoff time every year. I don’t think Denver fans realize how lucky they are to have a superstar who never runs or jumps.

  16. Moejoeslowmo

    tough break lil bro. Maybe waiting until the last second to get the project done wasn’t the best idea

  17. Afraid-Department-35

    Celtics getting the easiest road only to face the battle scarred winner of the west.

  18. medievalmachine

    He shouldn’t have been out there. What a fiasco. End of his career, perhaps. He loafs all season and then this, it’s rough. But maybe he wouldn’t have even made it this far otherwise. Hard to question Jimmy, but going out there after the injury is kind of awful.

  19. bebesworld

    I’ve watched back the tape of Oubre’s awkward landing on Jimmy, but no matter how many times I watch it from different angles, I can’t pinpoint any contact that could cause an MCL injury.

    Did it happen while he was airborne, or was it when he landed on Jimmy’s foot? God, this hurts.

  20. texas2089

    What the fuck with all these injuries in the Play-in?

  21. GoalPublic3579

    Well that’s the Heat gone then. Shame.

  22. Maybe if they took the regular season seriously and not waiting for “playoff jimmy” he wouldn’t have had to play in a game he left injured in

  23. daprice82

    I’m not even a Heat fan, but watching Butler go Super Saiyan in the playoffs is one of my favorite things every year. This sucks.
