Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler Named Second-Team All-NBA

Even though Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler wasn't chosen as an All-Star at midseason, he still got some love during the postseason.

Butler was chosen as second-team All-NBA when the honors were announced Wednesday night.

Butler had made third-team four times in his career, achieving the honor in 2017, 2018, 2020 and 2021. This is his third time making the team as a member of the Heat.

He is in the middle of leading the Heat to yet another deep run in the postseason. They are ahead 3-1 against the New York Knicks in the best-of-7 series in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Game 5 is Wednesday at Madison Square Garden.

Butler is averaging 33.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists in eight games during the playoffs.
