SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Warriors star Jimmy Butler was helped off the court with
an apparent right knee injury at the 7:41 mark of the third quarter of Monday's
game against his former Miami team.
Butler was hurt after catching a pass in the paint and going down hard and
awkwardly after a collision with the Heat's Davion Mitchell.
The knee buckled upon his landing and Butler grimaced and grabbed at his knee
while down for a couple of minutes. He needed teammates Gary Payton II and
Buddy Hield to escort him off the court and to the locker room after the fall
on the Warriors' offensive end. When he finally got up with assistance, he was
unable to put any pressure on his right knee.
In 21 minutes, Butler had 17 points on 6-for-11 shooting, four assists and
three rebounds.
