Jimmy Butler (knee) misses loss to Celtics; considered day-to-day

Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler missed Monday's 108-89 loss to the Boston Celtics after appearing to injure his right knee late in a loss at home Sunday vs. the Raptors.

Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said before the game that they are considering Butler as day-to-day. Butler was listed as out with knee soreness.

"We'll see what happens when we get back to Miami," said Spoelstra. The Heat next host the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.

Butler missed four games last month due to a right ankle sprain.
