Despite their 108-101 win the Heat had a moment to worry when their star player Jimmy Butler sank to the floor clinching his ankle in agony.<\/p>\n
Although Butler did continue the game he was in visible pain and concerns have clouded his fitness.<\/p>\n
When asked how he felt after the game, the 33-year old responded:<\/p>\n
“Like a rolled ankle”.<\/p>\n
The extent and seriousness of Butler’s injury is still unknown and Miami head-coach Erik Spoelstra also didn’t have anything to elaborate on. It is unclear whether he would take part in Game 2 or not.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou just don\u2019t know with ankle sprains,\u201d Spoelstra said. \u201cI don\u2019t even know if we\u2019ll know more about it tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the injury Butler finished the game with 25 points and 11 rebounds and he will be hoping to be fit for Game 2, which starts on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
