Up three with five minutes to go in the fourth quarter, the last thing anyone wanted to see was Jimmy Butler go down with an ankle injury.
As the Miami Heat star writhed on the floor after turning his ankle, coach Erik Spoelstra had the same reaction as the rest of us:
“F—.”

Fans reacted to Spoelstra’s response on Sunday.
“Jimmy stayed in btw,” a user said. “Tatum would be in an ambulance rushing to the hospital rn.”

Thankfully, Butler was able to finish out the game to help lead Miami to a Game 1 win on the road.
Jimmy led the way with 25 points, 11 rebounds and four assists, but the Heat also got some key contributions from Gabe Vincent, Bam Adebayo and veteran PG Kyle Lowry who came off the bench.
