Is Jimmy Butler Playing Tonight vs Knicks? Heat Release Injury Report for Game 4

The Miami Heat are hosting the New York Knicks for Game 4 of the 2nd round series tonight. Getting Jimmy Butler back in Game 3, the Heat took a 2-1 lead on the series and will be looking to extend their grip on the series even further. It appears that the ankle injury that Butler suffered in Game 1, which kept him out of Game 2, did not seem to be a bother in Game 3 for the star.

Hosting the Knicks during a Grand Prix weekend, the Heat made sure that they didn’t disappoint the fans who were missing the Qualifiers. While Sergio Perez dominated on the track, the Heat did the same on the court. They handed the Knicks a 105-86 beat down.

Heading into Game 4, fans wonder whether Jimmy will be available to lead them yet again?

Jimmy Butler is listed as Questionable for Game 4

Making a return from injury, Jimmy Butler showed us that his ankle is feeling quite alright. I mean, if it wasn’t, why else would he show off with a dunk? He was crucial for the Heat in Game 3, delivering a 28-point performance with 4 rebounds, 3 assists, and 2 blocks.

Ahead of Game 4, the team’s latest injury report states that Jimmy Butler is listed as Questionable. However, watching him in Game 3 sure tells us that there wasn’t any visible ailment. This means even though the team is trying to be cautious by putting him on the IR, Jimmy will play in Game 4.
