Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler is in jeopardy of falling short of the games played needed to qualify for any of the All-NBA teams under the league’s new participation mandate.
Butler, who is nursing a MP joint sprain in his right foot, has missed 12 of Miami’s 36 games and will sit out his fifth consecutive contest on Wednesday when the Heat face the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Kaseya Center.
In speaking to reporters for the first time about his injury on Tuesday, Butler shared a strong statement on if league awards were his main concern.
