Can the Hit beat New York and take a 1-0 lead in the series Knickshowever it is possible that this victory will be combined with a significant problem.
Specifically, Mr Jimmy Butler he turned his ankle badly during the game, which did not prevent him from playing the entire first game.
However, as stated by Erik Spoelstra“Jimmy Buckets” is still undergoing treatment and has ankle discomfort, so his participation in the second game against the New Yorkers is doubtful and will be decided at the last minute.
In fact, according to American reports, the Heat players are preparing for Game 2 with the thought that it is very likely that they will play without the Butler.
It is certain that the possible absence of the American will greatly reduce the chances of the Miami team, since they have already been excluded for the rest of the playoffs Tyler Hiro and Victor Oladipo.
Heat players who spoke today said they are preparing for the possibility of having to play without Jimmy Butler tomorrow, but Caleb Martin mentioned that you never know with Butler because he could try to play. https://t.co/p7BgYlpsSe
