Miami’s Jimmy Butler ruled out of Heat-Warriors game with illness

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's sick," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.
