Not on injury report Butler (toe) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's game against Charlotte.

Impact Despite missing Sunday's game against Toronto with a left big toe injury, Butler does not appear on Tuesday's report, which is a great thing for the Heat with the postseason fast approaching. Expect Butler to play Tuesday before the Heat decide on his status for their remaining two contests (Friday vs. ATL; Sunday at ORL).

Miami Heat Rule Out Jimmy Butler vs. Raptors The Toronto Raptors will avoid Jimmy Butler who will not play in Sunday’s game due to a toe injury

APRIL 3, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Won't play Sunday Butler has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raptors due to irritation in his left big toe.

Impact Butler presumably picked up the toe issue during Saturday's win over the Bulls, but it didn't appear to slow him down as he logged 22 points (7-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal in 35 minutes. In his absence, expect Caleb Martin (calf), Duncan Robinson and maybe even Victor Oladipo -- who's fallen out of the rotation as of late -- to see increased playing time against Toronto.

Will suit up Saturday night Butler (ankle) will play Saturday against the Nets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
