Miami deprived of Jimmy Butler for Game 5 against the Atlanta Hawks

Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler will not be playing Tuesday night to Wednesday to face the Atlanta Hawks in Game 5 of the first round of the playoffs. The 2016 Olympic champion suffers from an inflammation of the right knee and Miami does not want to take any risks for the rest of the competition. The Heat lead 3-1 in the series and can advance to the next round following this home game. In Butler’s absence, Hawks point guard Trae Young might take the opportunity to close the gap.
