Jimmy Butler (tailbone) to remain out for Miami on Sunday
Miami Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler will not lay Sunday in the team's game against the Detroit Pistons.
What It Means:
Butler is still dealing with his tailbone contusion, and as a result, he will continue to receive treatment and sit out for the team. It's unclear when he'll be able to return to the court. Expect Gabe Vincent to once again draw a start on the wing. Markieff Morris will also remain out with his neck injury.
In 18 games this season, Butler has averaged 22.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 43.0 FanDuel points.
