Star Miami Heat guard Jimmy Butler has been ruled out for tomorrow's game against the Timberwolves due to a sprained right ankle according to Miami Herald's Anthony Chiang. Butler has faced the Timberwolves only seven times since getting traded in 2018 and only once since 2021.

The Miami Heat is about to face life without Jimmy Butler for the first time this season. Butler has been ruled out for Sunday’s matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves at Target Center (7 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network — Sun) after spraining his right ankle early in Friday’s road loss to the Denver Nuggets.

He sustained the injury as Butler was driving on Denver guard Jamal Murray as when he stopped abruptly, he turned his ankle, which garnered a vivid reaction of pain. While he would be in for a few more possessions, he would go straight to the locker room after being subbed out.
