NBA – “Boston, I’m coming”. It is with this announcement posted on Instagram that Jimmy Butler announces his possible return for tonight’s clash against the Celtics of a Jayson Tatum, recently voted player of the month. A real shock is preparing this night between a vengeful Miami team and Boston, first in the league.

Miami could count on a major comeback tonight against the Celtics, that he had already faced last Wednesday. Jimmy Butler would thus potentially be back tonight. The Heat are currently one of the disappointments of the Eastern Conference, the fault of continual injuries to their five major. In Jimmy Butler’s absence, the Heat couldn’t turn things around in their favor. For 7 games and his injury, Miami has a record of 3 wins for 4 losses. However, the injured players are starting to come back one by one. What give hope to a Heat team that could need it.

It is thus Jimmy Butler himself who would have indicated that he could be available for the “return” match against the Celtics tonight. He has, in fact, posted a video on his Instagram account to announce his probable future return. Be careful though, he is currently still listed as questionable for tonight’s game.

“Boston, I’m coming. I can’t wait any longer. I’ve been away too long. I’m starting to crave victories. »

Jimmy Butler, who is averaging 20.9 points, 6.6 rebounds and 6.1 assists this season in his 13 games, could allow the Heat to get back into the Western Conference. Miami needs to find its franchise player, the soul of its team, in order to be able to evolve at the level which is its own. As a reminder, last year, the Heat finished first in the Western Conference and went all the way to the conference final against… Boston! Here they are again. It is therefore logical to expect better from this group which currently points to 11th place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 10 wins for 12 defeats. The hope of finding a healthy, injury-free workforce is once again present for Heat fans who hope to soon be able to put aside this difficult start to the season.
