Miami Heat Star Jimmy Butler is officially on the outs with the team after being suspended indefinitely for leaving practice early.
Jimmy Butler is the face of the Miami Heat and the situation seemed to be something that would prosper for the rest of his career. Playing in a great city, with support and the legendary Pat Riley is all most could ask for.
However, as we saw in Netflix’s “Starting 5” after Jimmy lost his father his focus shifted from basketball. Not in a bad way but it was clear his happiness and family were all that mattered. Jimmy’s arc in the show felt like we witnessed him get clarity on what’s best for Jimmy.
According to Yahoo, seemingly Butler’s next move is to get as far away from the Heat organization as possible.
Reportedly Jimmy Butler is suspended from the team indefinitely after leaving a shoot-around. Why did he leave? Allegedly because Haywood Highsmith was announced as a starter placing Jimmy on the bench.
By all accounts, this is extremely nasty behavior from The Heat and borderline disrespectful, but business is business.
Shortly after news broke Butler posted a picture of Tommy from “Martin” confirming he is out of a job and likely awaiting a trade. The NBA trade deadline will arrive on February 9 and rumors suggest when the window closes Butler will be a Golden State Warrior.
Furthermore, even if he doesn’t land in upstate California one thing is almost certain, he will not be on the Heat roaster.
His latest suspension is the third this month after he was suspended on January 3 for “multiple instances of conduct detrimental to the team.” Once he returned another suspension was issued for missing a team flight.
