Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler suffered a pelvis contusion after a frightening fall during the game against the Golden State Warriors and will not return, the team confirmed. The injury occurred in the first half when Butler drove to the basket and collided mid-air with a defender before landing awkwardly on his hip. He remained on the floor in visible pain for several moments before being helped to the locker room.
The Heat medical staff quickly ruled him out for the remainder of the game, citing a pelvis contusion. While the extent of the injury is still being evaluated, the team is expected to conduct further imaging to determine the severity and any potential recovery timeline.
Butler has been a vital presence for the Heat this season, both as a scorer and a leader on the court. His absence could significantly impact Miami’s playoff hopes as they battle for seeding in the tightly contested Eastern Conference. Fans and teammates alike will be hoping for positive news in the coming days. The team has yet to provide a timeline for his return, but they will likely proceed with caution given the nature of the injury and Butler’s importance to the squad.
