Heat rule out Jimmy Butler (ankle) Sunday
The Miami Heat have ruled out Jimmy Butler (ankle) for Sunday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.
What It Means:
Butler played nearly 40 minutes during Friday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, so it's possible the Heat are just giving their star a game off to rest. Hopefully that's the case, though the Heat would certainly prefer to have Butler on the court for tonight's tough matchup.
With Butler sitting out, Andre Iguodala should step into the starting lineup. He has a $3,600 salary and could be in a prime position to rack up some fantasy points.
