All-Star wing Jimmy Butler suffered a meniscal injury to his right knee in
Friday night’s game against the Rockets in Houston.
We don’t know the severity of the injury or the timeline, but in true Butler
fashion, he appears to be taking the injury in stride and with a smile on his
face.
A day after the injury, Butler posted this on Instagram on Saturday afternoon.
a wise man once told me… you gotta take the crooked with the straights… so i
just smile through it all…

We’ll know more about Butler’s injury in the next few days. Nothing but the best
wishes for one of the hardest-working players in the league.
