Victor Oladipo: Steals| Where is from| Return| Injury
Steals:
Heat guard Victor Oladipo is slowly starting to regain his offensive form ahead of unrestricted the free agency this summer after missing most of the season while recovering from a second surgery to repair his right quadriceps tendon last May.
The 30-year-old said he plans to fine-tune his game with a healthy offseason.
Where is from:
Return:
Victor Oladipo, who jumped into the rotation in Game 4 and played 23 minutes, will replace Butler in the starting lineup. Kyle Lowry will miss his second straight game with a left hamstring strain, and Gabe Vincent will once again take his place as a starter.
Both Butler and Lowry could potentially be available in Game 6 on Thursday, should the Hawks extend the series, according to Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel.
Injury:
Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler will not play in Game 5 of their first-round series against the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday. The team announced that Butler is out for Game 5 due to right knee inflammation.
Butler has been instrumental in the Heat taking a 3-1 lead in the series. He is coming off a 36-point, 10-rebound, four-assist, four-steal performance in a 110-86 victory on Sunday.
