The NBA play-in tournament has already taken its toll on the Chicago Bulls, Miami Heat and New Orleans Pelicans, all of whom suffered significant injuries earlier this week.

The Heat will be without star Jimmy Butler, who led them to the NBA Finals a year ago, but suffered an MCL injury that is expected to keep him out for weeks. The Pelicans will be without star Zion Williamson, who scored 40 points in his postseason debut Tuesday night, before suffering a hamstring injury that has knocked him out.
