Butler misses Game 2 vs. Knicks with ankle sprain

Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler missed Tuesday's Game 2 against the New York Knicks due to an ankle sprain suffered late in the series opener.

Butler rolled his ankle with 5:05 left in the fourth quarter, but the Heat went on to win 108-101.

The 33-year-old initially remained in the game and managed to make two free throws, but he didn't score again. He finished with 25 points, 11 rebounds, and four assists in 43 minutes.

Butler dominated throughout the Heat's first-round victory over the Milwaukee Bucks, averaging 37.6 points, six rebounds, and 4.8 assists.

The Heat are also without third-leading scorer Tyler Herro, who underwent surgery on his broken right hand two weeks ago and is out through at least the end of May.
