Is Jimmy Butler Playing Tonight vs Nuggets? Heat Star's Injury Update Brings Signs of Hope

Jimmy Butler has been a major reason why the Heat is starting to show signs of life, despite the shakiest of starts. Now, sitting 7th in the Eastern Conference, the team has won 7 of its last 10 games and looks scary again.

But of course, that gets cut down to about half without Jimmy Butler in the line-up.

Recently, it was reported that the Miami star had suffered an ankle sprain against the Pacers. And while he initially tried to play through it, he couldn’t finish the game, later missing the game against the Wolves.

Fortunately, the man did end up playing against the Lakers, contributing greatly to a win. But, with injuries such as these, even the slightest of tweaks can keep a player out for a long, long time.

Just ask LaMelo Ball.

With that in mind, what does the team’s injury report have to say about Jimmy Butler?

Miami Heat injury report reveals good news on Jimmy Butler

The Denver Nuggets are nothing to sneeze at. Not by a long shot.

Nikola Jokic has got this team sitting pretty at 2nd in the West, having won 8 of their last 10.

So, needless to say, the presence of Jimmy Butler will be tantamount to a Heat victory in this one. And fortunately for them, they will likely have it, as he has been deemed probable to play, as per ESPN.

Still, even with their biggest star’s presence, will they be good enough to win against the surging Nuggets?

Perhaps there is no sure answer to that question before this highly anticipated game commences.
