Butler wasn't alone in being listed as questionable for the series opener.

The top-seeded Heat also listed guards Max Strus (hamstring) and Tyler Herro (respiratory illness) and forwards P.J. Tucker (calf), Caleb Martin (ankle), and Markieff Morris (non-COVID illness) with that status.

Guard Kyle Lowry, however, has been ruled out for Game 1 with a hamstring injury.

Butler, 32, sat out Miami's first-round series-clinching win over the Atlanta Hawks in Game 5 last Tuesday.

A six-time All-Star, Butler averaged 30.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in the series against Atlanta.

Lowry, 36, averaged 8.3 points and 5.3 assists in three games versus the Hawks.
