Jimmy Butler is planning to play in Saturday’s Game 3 against the Knicks and it sounds like the Heat star has a good chance to suit up.
Butler missed Game 2 with the ankle injury he suffered in the Heat’s Game 1 win.
Latest on Jalen Brunson
Brunson played through Tuesday’s Game 2 win, though he’s popping up on the injury report again with right ankle soreness after missing practice on Thursday.
With Game 3 on Saturday, the point guard sitting out may be more of a precautionary measure than a sign of trouble regarding his status.
