Jimmy Butler says he will need an MRI on his right knee after sustaining an injury in the first half of the Miami Heat's play-in loss to the 76ers on Wednesday.
Late in the first quarter, Butler buckled his knee and fell while trying to fake out Philadelphia's Kelly Oubre Jr. The latter appeared to land on Butler, who led the Heat from the play-in to the NBA Finals last year.
After the collision, Butler sank the first free throw before missing the second. He remained in the game and clocked in 19 points as his team was barely edged, 105-104, by Joel Embiid and company.
