Ruled out Monday The Heat ruled out Butler for Monday's contest against the Celtics due to right big toe irritation. Impact Miami had initially listed Butler as questionable for the contest due to a right ankle sprain, but it's a different injury that will cause him to miss his 19th game of the season. In addition to Butler, the Heat announced that P.J. Tucker (knee) will also be sidelined Monday, joining a long list of inactive players that includes Kyle Lowry (personal), Markieff Morris (conditioning), KZ Okpala (wrist) and Omer Yurtseven (COVID-19 protocols). Max Strus and Caleb Martin are the most likely candidates to join the starting lineup with Butler and Tucker sidelined.
