Jimmy Butler
Suspended Indefinitely
Published January 27, 2025 1:21 PM PST
Jimmy Butler very well may have played his last game for the Miami Heat — the team just suspended the superstar again … but this time, there’s no timetable for his return amid the ugly feud.
The news broke on Monday … with Shams Charania saying the six-time All-Star walked out of the team’s shootaround after learning he was losing his starting role to Haywood Highsmith.
It marks the third time this month Butler’s been hit with a punishment — he was suspended for seven games back on Jan. 3 … with the team saying it would field trade offers to get Butler out of town.
He was suspended again last week after missing a team flight to Milwaukee … but was expected to return from his two-game absence against the Orlando Magic in a matter of hours.
Butler’s beef stems from not receiving an extension with the franchise — and while he said he has love for the city, he made it clear he’s ready for a change of scenery.
He’s had no issue being in the public eye as his relationship with the Heat crumbles … as he was present for a padel tournament over the weekend, and even giggled it up with comedian Andrew Schulz days prior.
It’ll be hard to ship Butler and his $48.8 million salary … but expect Miami to try their damnedest to find a way ahead of the Feb. 6 deadline now.
