Questionable for Game 4 Butler (knee) is listed as questionable for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Celtics on Monday.

Impact Butler was sidelined for the second half of Game 3 due to inflammation in his right knee. The issue isn't expected to be serious, and there's a strong possibility the All-Star forward is available for Game 4, per Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports. However, his availability will likely come down to a game-time decision Monday.

Likely available for Game 4 Butler's knee injury isn't expected to be serious, and there's a strong possibility he's available for Game 4, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

Impact Butler finished the first half of Game 3 with eight points (3-8 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 20 minutes, but he didn't start the second half and was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the game. Victor Oladipo started the second half in place of the All-Star forward and played well, but Butler's potential availability for Game 4 would be a huge boost for the Heat as they look to take a commanding 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Jimmy Butler injury: Heat wing out remainder of Game 3 with right knee inflammation Jimmy Butler did not return to the game after the halftime of Game 3

MAY 22, 2022 • MASSLIVE.COM

Won't return to Game 3 Butler has been ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics due to right knee inflammation, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Butler finished the first half with eight points (3-8 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 20 minutes, but he apparently aggravated the knee issue that caused him to miss a contest earlier in the playoffs. Victor Oladipo started the second half in place of the All-Star forward and figures to garner an increased role the rest of the way.

Impact Butler finished as the game's top scorer for a second consecutive contest, but his strong performance wasn't enough as the Celtics' balanced attack evened the series. Across 12 playoff appearances, the All-Star forward has averaged 29.8 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 2.2 steals in 37.3 minutes per game, but he'll likely need better contributions from his teammates in Game 3 if the Heat hope to avoid dropping back-to-back contests.
