Miami Heat star Jimmy Butlet suffered an injured ankle in his knee, although he was able to finish the game.

Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra is unsure of the extent of the injury.

“No idea,” he said.

“You just don’t know with ankle sprains. I don’t even know if we’ll know more by Monday. We’ll just have to see. It’ll be a waiting game. But he did not want to come out of the game, so we left him in there.” He said.
