Jimmy Butler's Status For Game 6
The Miami Heat and Boston Celtics are facing off for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Friday night in Massachusetts, and for the game the Heat will have their best player available.
All-Star shooting guard Jimmy Butler is not on the injury report for the contest.
Butler has played in every single game in the series, but he exited Game 3 due to a knee injury, and did not play the rest of the second half.
The Celtics currently have a 3-2 lead in the series, so they can actually close it on Friday night on their home court.
The winner of the series will move on to the NBA Finals to face off with the Golden State Warriors (who just beat the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals on Thursday evening).
The Heat beat the Celtics in the 2020 Eastern Conference Finals to advance to the NBA Finals, but they lost to the Los Angeles Lakers.
