Miami Heat All-Star Jimmy Butler will miss his second straight game with a sprained right ankle.
Butler suffered the injury in Miami’s season opener against the Orlando Magic on December 23.
With Butler unavailable, the Heat suffered a second 47-point loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday, the first night of a back-to-back.
Miami is set to face the Bucks again on Wednesday in the two teams’ second meeting this season at American Airlines Arena.
The 31-year-old has averaged 11.5 points, six assists, 4.5 rebounds and four steals in two appearances this season.
