The standoff continues between Jimmy Butler and the Heat, against a backdrop of tension surrounding a possible departure of the player.
The Miami star was once again suspended by his franchise on Wednesday, this time for two matches, due to a missed plane.
Butler (35) had already been suspended seven games by the Heat earlier this month due to statements in which he explained he wanted to leave the team. He led the Heat to two lost finals in 2020 and 2023.
‘We have suspended Jimmy Butler for two games for repeated failures to respect internal rules, insubordinate conduct and detrimental to the team, including missing today’s flight to Milwaukee,’ wrote the Heat in a press release released Wednesday .
-His situation and his very probable departure have been driving the NBA transfer market for several weeks, while several teams would like to attract the winger to strengthen themselves in the title race.
