Heat F Butler (illness) likely out versus Rockets

Miami Heat star forward Jimmy Butler will likely miss Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets due to an illness, coach Erik Spoelstra told reporters. Butler missed the team's morning shootaround in Houston with Spoelstra telling reporters that Butler was "wiped out."

Spoelstra said Butler is dealing with a sinus infection similar to the one that Miami point guard Goran Dragic recently experienced. "He is totally out of if this morning," Spoelstra said of Butler.

Butler leads the Heat in scoring (18.9 points per game) and assists (6.7). Butler contributed 18 points, nine assists and seven rebounds when Miami clobbered visiting Houston 129-100 on Nov. 3.
