MIAMI -- Jimmy Butler was ruled out of Miami's game against Golden State on Tuesday night, one that comes with the Heat trying to escape the play-in tournament in the Eastern Conference.
It was the 22nd time in 72 games this season that Miami played without Butler, who missed the team's morning shootaround with a non-COVID illness. He was later listed as questionable, then downgraded to out about two hours before game time.
"He's sick," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. "Doesn't feel well at all today."
Miami doesn't play again until hosting Portland on Friday.
