Hawks vs Heat: Jimmy Butler to Miss Matchup vs Hawks
Some big news just dropped concerning the Hawks matchup with the Miami Heat.
Jimmy Butler is going to miss tonight's game for the Heat due to a personal family issue. Miami is already shorthanded, as they will be without Tyler Herro and Caleb Martin and now they will be without their best player.
Hopefully, nothing is seriously wrong with Butler and he can return to his team quickly.
Atlanta will now be facing a Miami Heat team that is missing its best player and best shooter. Still, Erik Spoelstra is the best coach in the NBA and he can figure out ways to find a lineup that works tonight against the Hawks.
This will be the first time that the Miami Heat and the Hawks have played since the NBA Play-In Tournament game, which the Hawks won and advanced to the playoffs. The Heat of course went on to the NBA Finals where they lost in five games to the Denver Nuggets.
