ORLANDO, Fla. — Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler was ruled out of Saturday night's game at the Orlando Magic with an illness, the team announced. Butler left Friday night's home game against Oklahoma City in the first quarter with what appeared to be a left ankle injury. He did not return to the game because of an illness, the Heat said after the 104-97 loss. Butler was coming off a triple-double with 35 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists in a Tuesday loss at Detroit in which he also posted four steals and no turnovers.
