Jimmy Butler is already one of the tougher players in the NBA but what he did last night will leave you with no doubt. Butler took a scary fall after going to the rim and looked like he may have hurt his knee bad. He had to leave the court in a wheel chair but not before summoning the strength to get up and go shoot his free throws before being rolled off the court.

When the injury happened clearly Butler didn’t know if it was minor or major and he wanted to shoot the free throws because that means he could have returned if his knee had let him. Had someone else taken his free throws he would not have been allowed to return to the game. He wasn’t able to return anyway but they didn’t know that for sure at the time.

According to reports, the injury wasn’t as bad at it looked and the team believes it was just a hyper extended knee and he will probably only miss one game.
