Injured, the disturbing image of the ankle of Jimmy Butler before the final!

After outclassing the Knicks, Miami once again finds itself in the conference finals. Waiting for their opponents, the Heat and the fans are quite worried about the health of Jimmy Butler. injured in the ankle, recent photo of him does not reassure anyone…

Against New York, the Heat were infallible for most of the series. Authoritative and serious, Erik Spoelstra’s men confirmed the feat against Milwaukee and therefore qualified for the Eastern Conference final. As against the Bucks, the Florida team was also able to count on a Jimmy Butler which never ceases to impress as it flies over the competition.

In a slightly more defensive and tactical duel than the first round, the winger still posted excellent statistics. In five games played, he averaged 24.6 points, 7.2 rebounds and 6 assists and was probably the best player in the confrontation with Jalen Brunson. However, this opposition was cruel for him since he injured his ankle. An image of the latter freezes the blood of fans who could be deprived of their star…

Jimmy is ready for the Eastern Conference Finals.

Hero of the playoffs so far, Jimmy Butler therefore displays a swollen ankle in a rather worrying way for Miami. While she had already made him miss Game 2 against the Knicks, she does not yet seem to be completely cured. Despite the warrior side that we know him, pulling on the rope could be more dangerous than anything else and could make him miss the next deadlines.

Even if it does not appear on any injury report, we suspect that Butler is monitoring the evolution of his injury very closely. The extension of the series between Philadelphia and Boston is also probably viewed favorably, since pushed to Game 7, Sixers and Celtics thus allow him to extend his rest time. On the side of the fans, we refuse to believe in an absence of Jimmy Butler and we rely on prayer:

Prayer circle for Jimmy Butler’s ankle to be better by Wednesday.

For the moment, no information has been communicated regarding the presence of Jimmy Butler for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals. The Heat obviously remain ultra-attentive and will do everything to ensure that their star is ready when the time comes.
