Miami Heat’s standout player Jimmy Butler is displeased with Philadelphia 76ers’ player Kelly Oubre Jr. A collision between Butler’s knee and Oubre occurred during a jump shot in Wednesday night’s play-in loss, resulting in a MCL injury for Butler, sidelining him indefinitely.
Despite the appearance that Butler may have extended his leg, prompting the foul by Oubre and subsequently causing the injury, Butler took it upon himself to send a threatening message to Oubre via Instagram. While Oubre’s actions seem unintentional, Butler perceives the situation differently.
Despite this incident, the 76ers emerged victorious in the game, securing the No. 7 seed. Without Butler, the Heat will face off against the Chicago Bulls on Friday night for the No. 8 seed.
The winner of this match will advance to a first-round matchup against the Boston Celtics, commencing on Sunday, while the loser will transition into the offseason.
