Jimmy Butler is facing a two-game suspension from the Miami Heat, marking his second disciplinary action in just three weeks. The latest suspension comes after Butler missed the team’s flight to Milwaukee, raising further questions about his future with the franchise. The Heat are scheduled to play the Bucks and then the Nets, and Butler could return Monday against the Magic—if he’s still on the roster.

Butler has privately expressed a desire to be traded, a request that has become public through his recent suspensions. The NBA trade deadline is approaching on February 6, intensifying speculation about his future. Notably, financial disagreements have strained his relationship with the Heat, particularly regarding a potential $113 million extension.

Adding to the drama, Butler’s missed flight coincided with a padel tournament in Miami, where he serves as an honorary chairman. The ongoing saga of Butler’s potential departure continues to unfold, with trade rumors swirling, especially linking him to teams like Phoenix and Dallas.
