Heat's Jimmy Butler cleared to return after 4-game absence

Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler has been cleared to return for Monday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers, while Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Terry Rozier have been ruled out.

Butler, who has missed the past four games with a sprained right ankle, has been upgraded to "available" for the game against the Sixers.

Butler is averaging 16.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists in eight starts.

Jaquez sprained his ankle during Sunday's loss to the Indiana Pacers, while Rozier will miss his first game with right foot discomfort.
