Heat suspend star Jimmy Butler indefinitely, sources say
The Miami Heat are suspending forward Jimmy Butler indefinitely, sources told ESPN on Monday.
It’s the third time Butler has been suspended by the Heat in recent weeks and comes after he was excepted to return from his second suspension Monday night against the Orlando Magic.
The Heat were planning to have Butler come off the bench moving forward but Butler responded to the news by walking out of morning shootaround, sources said. The Heat then decided to suspend the disgruntled star indefinitely.
Butler has missed nine of Miami’s last 12 games entering Monday due to a pair of suspensions, the first of which was for seven games due to conduct that the Heat deemed detrimental. After returning for three games, the Heat suspended Butler again for two games after he missed a team flight to Milwaukee last week.
Butler has requested a trade and the Heat have said they are working to find a deal.
The NBA trade deadline is Feb. 6.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
