Jimmy Butler injury update: Warriors forward leaves game vs. Heat

SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler left Monday night's game against the Miami Heat with an apparent right knee injury.

The Warriors were leading 77-75 with 7:41 remaining in the third quarter at the time of the injury stoppage.

Butler jumped to receive a lob pass from guard Brandin Podziemski, which was met contact from Heat guard Davion Mitchell as Butler was landing and going up for a layup.

It seemed as if Butler's knee buckled as he immediately fell to the ground before being tended to by the Warriors' medical staff.
