2024 NBA Season

These hairstyles and media day don't really have an impact on his game. I just hope Jimmy Butler finishes this season healthy and injury free, unlike last season. It's just too bad because I think they had a chance against the Celtics. If I remember correctly, he was injured which is why the Celtics easily advanced to the next round.

Like Tyrese Haliburton said, the team that stays healthy until the end becomes the champion and I agree with that.

Yes, Butler missed a lot of games last season due to injuries including the entire first round of the playoffs due to a sprained MCL.
There's no question the Heat would have performed much better with a healthy Butler, but the Celtics were too good last playoffs. I mean, even if Butler had been healthy, the Heat still wouldn't have been able to beat the Celtics.

Heat were not going to compete with that Celtics team.  They were a matchup nightmare for teams.  They could beat you with death by a millions cuts.  Adding Krista's was the icing They needed.  When healthy and on he is unguardable for most teams.  Imagine trying to block a 7 footer who shoots silky smooth 3s lol.  Celtics definitely favorites to win the east again

Shams the lone solo man reporting on NBA rumors (seems that way with no more Woj) is saying that Luka Doncic hurt his left calf and will be out for at least a week before he is re-evaluated by team doctors. Not a great start to the new look Mavericks season, but it sounds like right now there’s no reason to think Luka won’t be ready for opening day.

There was a report from Kidd that Doncic got hit in the calf, and he had a sprain. Keeping that in mind, I think it should be a minor injury, and Doncic will most likely be fully healthy by the start of the regular season. However, it is obvious that he will definitely miss the first preseason game.
