The Jimmy Butler situation isn’t getting much better in Miami.
The Miami Heat announced Friday they have suspended the six-time All-Star for “multiple instances of conduct detrimental to the team” over the course of the season, a day after he held a surreal news conference in which he loudly signaled he wants to be traded. While taking action against Butler’s conduct, they also added they will listen to trade offers for him.
We have suspended Jimmy Butler for seven games for multiple instances of conduct detrimental to the team over the course of the season and particularly the last several weeks.
Through his actions and statements, he has shown he no longer wants to be part of this team. Jimmy Butler and his representative have indicated that they wish to be traded, therefore, we will listen to offers.
