Jimmy Butler had to be helped off the floor after suffering a knee injury against the Miami Heat on Monday.

The Warriors officially ruled him out for the game.

NBC Sports Bay Area's Monte Poole wrote that Butler couldn't put weight on his right leg.

The SF Standard's Danny Emerman noted that Butler has suffered two serious right knee injuries in his career: a 2018 meniscus tear and a 2024 MCL sprain.

After the game, NBC Sports Bay Area's Dalton Johnson wrote that Butler "is currently getting an MRI and an update is expected tomorrow."

In his postgame media session, Steve Kerr said "we're all really concerned" as the team awaits the news on the severity of the injury.
