Jimmy Butler might be sidelined indefinitely due to a significant knee injury.
The Miami Heat star is feared to have sustained an MCL injury in his team's loss to the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday in the play-in tournament, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Butler is set to undergo an MRI on Thursday to determine the severity of his injury. While specifics are not yet known, it could very easily sideline him indefinitely, which would knock him out of Friday’s win-or-go-home matchup against the Chicago Bulls and potentially much more of the playoffs.
