Jimmy Butler remained away from the team Friday as the Miami Heat flew to Atlanta for Saturday’s second stop on their three-game trip. Butler has been away from the team the past three games due to what initially was listed as a stomach ailment,

Saturday’s game against the Hawks marks the start of a back-to-back set for the Heat. Miami will close its three-game trip on Sunday against the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center, with Butler’s status for that game also up in the air.

Butler has missed the last three games with the first two due to a “stomach illness” and the last being because of the “return to competition reconditioning process.” It appears that he is staying in Miami for the process as he and the team await a development in his paying status for Saturday.
