Heat star Jimmy Butler (knee inflammation) and Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee soreness) are both listed as questionable for Game 4 on Monday night, according to the teams’ injury reports.
According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, Butler plans to play. He missed the second half of Game 3 due to the injury, while Williams missed the entire contest.
The Heat are also listing Tyler Herro (groin strain), Kyle Lowry (hamstring strain), Max Strus (hamstring strain), P.J. Tucker (knee irritation) and Gabe Vincent (hamstring strain) as questionable.
In addition, the Celtics have listed Marcus Smart (right ankle sprain) as questionable and Jayson Tatum (right cervical nerve impingement) as probable to play.
Smart and Tatum suffered their injuries during Game 3, leaving the court momentarily before returning a short time later. Miami has been listing Lowry, Tucker, Vincent and Strus on its injury report for quite some time, though Tucker suffered his knee injury this series. He was previously dealing with a calf strain.
Despite missing Butler in the second half, Miami held on to win Game 3 and take a 2-1 series lead. Boston also missed Williams, one of the league’s best interior defenders, as Bam Adebayo finished with 31 points. A Boston win on Monday would tie the series 2-2, while a loss would mean the Celtics have to head back to Miami facing a 3-1 deficit and possible elimination in Game 5 on Wednesday.
In my dictionary
Questionable means has been activated to play the games
Without Bob Williams, Bam scores 31 points
You sure you know what a dictionary is, bruh?
Tatum ego is questionable. PJ used him like a patch kid doll. His feelings are hurt more than his body.
Jimmy get well bro. We need you more for gm5. And rest of playoffs
All of the rotation stuff I talked about came into play. If Butler is out, it changes things again. In that case, Yurtseven might be the play, and Duncan Robinson, and Haywood Highsmith should see minutes. No Dedmon.
Bam making that huge shot at the end of the shot clock right around that time Strus hit that big 3 was a shit we’ve known for a couple of years he can make, but he just never takes it. Hope to see more aggression from Bam when he catches it below the 3 point line
“Was a shit we’ve known for a couple of years he can make, he just never takes it.” Nice.
Well, it was not a pretty shot… I mean, a pretty sh… nevermind
Bam was destined to be the next Giannis, but Riley wanted a center and can be persuasive.
An unfortunate typo lol
