Heat begin a new chapter: Life without Jimmy Butler, who is suspended and seeking a trade

Associated Press  

MIAMI — For the 119th time since Jimmy Butler joined Miami, the Heat played a game without him. Butler is gone, banished by the Heat for seven games over what they called conduct detrimental to the team — and he’s probably not going to play for Miami again. “It’s disappointing when you see the organization and a player going head-to-head like that,” Heat captain Bam Adebayo said Saturday after the team’s shootaround practice. The National Basketball Players Association spoke out on Butler’s behalf hours after the Heat announced the suspension on Friday, saying it believes the team’s actions are “excessive and inappropriate.” The suspension could cost Butler about $2.4 million of his $48.8 million salary this season. We have a task to do.” Utah will see Miami twice during Butler’s suspension; the Heat play in Salt Lake City on Thursday.
