Heat coach Erik Spoelstra on Jimmy Butler's status after leaving Friday's loss to the Denver Nuggets with a sprained ankle: "We don't know at this point. "You never know until you get to the next day. We fly, when we get to Minnesota, we're probably have a better idea."

Spoelstra on Tyler Herro: "Tyler is growing each game this season and making the right play. The first point of contact for our defense is to make a stand. We have to earn wins in this league and we are going through a rough stretch right now. We have to rally to get much better."
