Jimmy Butler is currenlty serving his second team suspension of the season as he tries to force a trade out of Miami. The Heat went 3–4 during Butler's first suspension and were just 1–2 in the three games he played in before missing a team flight.

After missing Wednesday’s team flight for the Miami Heat’s two-game trip to Milwaukee and Brooklyn, forward Jimmy Butler has been suspended again by the team, for those two games, an NBA source familiar with the action confirmed to the Sun Sentinel.

With his seven-game suspension over, Jimmy Butler returned to the Heat's starting lineup Friday night against the Nuggets and addressed his future plans with a short statement: "I'm back."
