01/19 22:56 CST Warriors guard Jimmy Butler goes down with apparent knee injury in 3rd quarter against Heat Warriors guard Jimmy Butler goes down with apparent knee injury in 3rd quarter against Heat By JANIE McCAULEY AP Sports Writer SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Warriors star Jimmy Butler was helped off the court with an apparent right knee injury at the 7:41 mark of the third quarter of Monday's game against his former Miami team. Butler was hurt after catching a pass in the paint and going down hard and awkwardly after a collision with the Heat's Davion Mitchell. The knee buckled upon his landing and Butler grimaced and grabbed at his knee while down for a couple of minutes. He needed teammates Gary Payton II and Buddy Hield to escort him off the court and to the locker room after the fall on the Warriors' offensive end. When he finally got up with assistance, he was unable to put any pressure on his right knee. In 21 minutes, Butler had 17 points on 6-for-11 shooting, four assists and three rebounds. ___ AP NBA: https://apnews.com/NBA
