Butler (foot) was spotted getting shots up at Wednesday's morning shootaround, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Butler has been sidelined for the past two games, and he's currently listed as questionable for Wednesday. His availability at the shootaround is a good sign that he's trending in the right direction, but if Butler is unable to suit up, the Heat could rely heavily on Jaime Jaquez and Caleb Martin.

Butler (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Butler has missed back-to-back games due to a foot issue and is listed as questionable again. If the star forward is sidelined, Jaime Jaquez, Haywood Highsmith and Caleb Martin would be candidates for increased roles, especially with Duncan Robinson joining Tyler Herro (foot) and Josh Richardson (shoulder) on the sidelines.

Butler (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Butler's next opportunity to take the court comes Monday, when Miami finishes up its back-to-back set with a matchup with the 76ers. Butler dealt with an extended absence due to a right toe sprain in December and January, but the Heat haven't provided an inclination that his current right foot bruise is related. Jaime Jaquez is a candidate to start in Butler's stead and is averaging 15.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 19 games without Butler this season.

Butler closed Wednesday's 100-88 loss to Denver with 15 points (6-16 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block over 36 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Butler popped up on the injury report Tuesday with an illness, but it wasn't severe enough to keep him out of Wednesday's rematch of the 2022-23 NBA Finals. It was a tough night on the offensive side of the floor for the Heat, with Butler's 15 points second on the team behind Bam Adebayo. Butler is averaging 22.5 points on 50.0 percent shooting, 5.2 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.0 steals over 36.6 minutes per game in March.

Butler contributed 23 points (9-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 110-108 loss to Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Butler led the Heat in scoring and contributed in peripheral categories, something he does with absolute ease on a game-to-game basis, so his overall stat line wasn't much of a surprise in a game the Heat surprisingly lost to the Wizards. Butler has been consistent since the end of the All-Star break, scoring at least 20 points in all but one of his last eight outings while averaging 23.3 points per game in that stretch.
