Heat's Jimmy Butler aggravated tailbone injury

"There could not have been a worst scenario for us to start the game" coach Spoelstra said

Jimmy Butler of the Miami Heat aggravated his tailbone injury in loss to Grizzlies.

Per ESPN, Butler favored his back after a hard fall on a missed driving layup early in the first quarter. He scored just 10 points on 13 shots before heading to the locker room midway through the third quarter. He did not return.
“He drew contact and got shoved and landed on his tailbone again,’’ Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said after the game. “There could not have been a worst scenario for us to start the game. It is a contact sport. It’s an unpredictable thing. Insult to injury, we didn’t get the call on that either.
“But he definitely re-aggravated it. You can tell from that point on he was not his usual self. So we’ll reevaluate him [Tuesday] and see where we are.’’
