Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler has been cleared to return for Monday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers, however Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Terry Rozier have been ruled out.
Butler, who has missed the past four games with a sprained right ankle, has been upgraded to "available" for the game against the Sixers.
Butler is averaging 16.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists in eight starts.
Jaquez sprained his ankle during Sunday's loss to the Indiana Pacers and has been ruled out. Rozier will miss his first game with right foot discomfort.
It's unclear when Rozier sustained the injury to his foot. He played the entire game against the Pacers, scoring nine points in 27 minutes. He's averaging 12.9 points and 3.7 assists in 12 starts this season.
Jaquez scored just two points in 15 minutes before exiting late in the third quarter after turning his right ankle. He did not return. He's averaging 8.9 points and 6.0 rebounds in nine games (no starts) this season. Jaquez missed three games earlier this season with a stomach illness.
