Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler is out for Monday's game against the Boston Celtics after appearing to injure his right knee late in a loss at home Sunday vs. the Raptors.
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said they are considering Butler as day-to-day. Butler was listed as out with knee soreness.
"We'll see what happens when we get back to Miami," said Spoelstra. The Heat next host the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.
