The Miami Heat will be without their leading scorer and five-time All-Star Jimmy Butler when they take on the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday night. According to Yahoo Sports NBA Insider Chris Haynes, Miami will be holding out Butler as he tends to an ankle sprain.

Butler suffered the ankle sprain during Monday’s 115-108 loss to the Golden State Warriors, though, most accounts suggest it won’t be a serious hindrance in the long-term.
