Jimmy Butler seemed to have injured his knee in an awkward manner and was helped to the locker room.
The injury happened in the third quarter. Butler grabbed an offensive rebound and Nene appeared to make contact with the knee, but Butler did not seem to be affected by the contact. He then pivoted and landed on his right foot while passing to Taj Gibson and immediately collapsed to the ground and grasped his knee.
Per Shams Charania, X-rays on Jimmy Butler’s right knee came back negative tonight and he’s scheduled to have an MRI tomorrow.
