Miami Heat’s latest injury concern is Jimmy Butler’s back

Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler is back on the injury report due to back pain, making him probable for Friday’s game against the Toronto Raptors. Butler previously missed games with a sprained ankle and is now dealing with back tightness, while teammate Kevin Love is questionable with back spasms. Despite Butler’s absence on Wednesday, the Heat secured a victory against the Charlotte Hornets with standout performances from Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, and Bam Adebayo. The Heat are facing a challenging schedule with three games in four nights, which may impact how they manage Butler’s playing time. The team’s NBA Cup hopes are dwindling, and they would need several scenarios to play out in their favor to have a chance at advancing. As the Heat face potential elimination from the Cup, their regular-season schedule will be adjusted to accommodate additional games. The team will have to regroup without Butler at full strength as they navigate a busy stretch of games in the coming days.
