“We Throwing Hands”: Miami Heat Star Jimmy Butler Commented On His Injury Update, revealing some personal unsettling ordeal…..

On Wednesday night’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, Jimmy Butler the Miami Heat star suffered an MCL injury, sidelining him from Friday’s win-or-go-home matchup against the Chicago Bulls.

The Heat shared on Thursday that Butler sustained a right MCL sprain and won’t play Friday in the NBA play-in tournament game against the Chicago Bulls.

Butler’s MCL injury came in the first quarter when 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. landed awkwardly on his leg and on the Heat’s injury update post he called out Oubre.

On the IG post, while tagging the 76ers standout, he commented “We throwing hands”. He ended the game with 19 points on 5 of 18 shooting in 40 minutes.

This season, Butler averaged 20.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 5.0 assists per game on 49.9% shooting from the floor and 41.4% shooting from beyond the arc.

The six-time All-Star shared after Wednesday’s loss,

“It felt like I couldn’t do too much, which sucks with the timing of the game and everything. I hope that I’m fine. I hope that I wake up tomorrow and can still stick and move. Right now, I can’t stay, that’s the case.”

Butler’s injury turned out to be more severe than expected and will miss Miami’s second Pay-In Tournament game against the Bulls on Friday.

If the Heat wins over the Bulls on Friday, they will be facing against the one-seeded Boston Celtics in Round 1 of the East playoffs, which begin on Sunday at TD Garden.

Thursday was not the day to be a fan of the Miami Heat, as reality came crashing down after it was revealed that superstar Jimmy Butler will be out Friday against the Chicago Bulls because of an MCL injury — that game against the Bulls is an elimination contest.

Things went down Wednesday night at the end of the first quarter, where Philadelphia 76ers forward Kelly Oubre Jr. made an awkward landing on Butler’s leg. The 34-year-old stayed on the court, but his game was flat scoring only 19 points (5-of-18 shooting). With that being said, you can tell Butler has Oubre in the back of his head, because it’s clear he has a target on his back after the six-time All-Star chirped at the Sixer on one of the Heat’s Instagram posts — a post that gave an update on Butler’s injury.

“@kellyoubrejr we throwing hands,” commented Butler.

I wanna say that Jimmy is joking around and being a troll here, but knowing the temperament of Jimmy and how he can be hot-headed sometimes, this could be some real ish…
