Good to go Butler (toe) is available for Monday's game against the Nets, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
Impact Butler will return to action Monday after missing 11 of the Heat's past 12 games. He will presumably have some restrictions but should be in the starting lineup and handle his usual usage while on the court. Before his string of absences, Butler averaged 22.8 points, 5.6 assists and 5.4 rebounds in 35.1 minutes over his previous nine appearances.

Questionable for Monday Butler (toe) is questionable for Monday's game against the Nets, Tim Reynolds of Associated Press reports.
Impact Butler has missed 11 of the Heat's last 12 games, but he could make his return Monday. If he's cleared, he'd presumably have some restrictions, but he hasn't operated off the bench since the 2012-13 campaign.

Set to travel with team Butler (toe) will travel with the team ahead of Monday's game against the Nets, Wes Goldberg of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Impact Butler has missed 11 of the last 12 matchups, but the fact that he'll travel with the team suggests that he's nearing a return. It's unclear whether he'll be available Monday against Brooklyn, but the Heat will be shorthanded on the wing with Jaime Jaquez (groin) sidelined.

Officially out Sunday Butler (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Charlotte, Will Manso of Local 10 Miami reports.
Impact Butler will now have missed 11 of Miami's past 12 games, with the Heat scrapping to a 6-5 record over that span. Sunday will mark Caleb Martin's second game back from an ankle injury, so Miami's backcourt and wing rotation will be at full health with the exception of Butler.

Doubtful against Hornets Butler (toe) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Butler will likely sit out a seventh straight game, but previous reports have indicated that he could be back for Monday's contest against the Nets. Kyle Lowry (hand) is probable for Sunday, while Tyler Herro (shoulder) is questionable. It's likely that the Heat continue to rely heavily on Jaime Jaquez.

Officially ruled out Butler (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic.
Impact Butler has appeared in just one game since Dec. 18 while dealing with a right toe sprain. Updates on his status have been sparse, but he did say Tuesday that his toe is showing signs of improvement, and he's aiming to return either Sunday versus Charlotte or Monday in Brooklyn, though his official status for those games remains unclear. In the meantime, Jaime Jaquez, Duncan Robinson and Nikola Jovic should continue to see increased roles, especially given Tyler Herro (shoulder) and Kyle Lowry (hand) are also out.

Doubtful for Friday Butler (toe) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Magic, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Although Butler is unlikely to suit up Friday, it's encouraging that he's listed as doubtful on Miami's initial injury report rather than being immediately ruled out. He's missed the past five games, but he said Tuesday that his toe is improving and that he expects to return soon. Jaime Jaquez, Duncan Robinson and Nikola Jovic will likely continue to see increased run Friday.
