Heat Suspend Jimmy Butler Two Games For Missing Team Flight

According to Chris Haynes, the Miami Heat again suspended Jimmy Butler for violating team policy. This time, it was for missing the team’s flight to Milwaukee on Wednesday.

The suspension will last for two games, seeing him miss Thursday’s game against the Bucks and Saturday’s game against the Brooklyn Nets.

This suspension comes after recently serving a team-imposed seven-game suspension. Butler only returned for three games before being reprimanded again.

There is a strong expectation that he will no longer be a part of Miami’s organization until the trade deadline. Per multiple reports, Butler is willing to be a part of any organization, as long as it isn’t Miami or the Memphis Grizzlies.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, confirmed by the organization, the Miami Heat has traded Haywood Highsmith and a 2032 second-round pick to the Brooklyn Nets for a conditional 2026 second-round pick.

Miami completed this trade to get underneath the tax line for the upcoming season; this follows after it was reported the 28-year-old had knee surgery earlier this month and was looking to be out eight-to-ten weeks.

Highsmith appeared in 74 games averaging 6.5 points and 3.4 rebounds per game.

Kevin Durant Was Open To Trade With Heat

According to multiple reports from ESPN, Kevin Durant did have an interest in playing for the Miami Heat. This would have set the Phoenix Suns up to acquire Jimmy Butler.

Durant made sure to make it known he didn’t want to go to the Golden State Warriors, as his “preference” was Miami.

The deal fell through because the Suns wanted a significant package in exchange for one of the greats. If it went through, then fans would have seen a new “Big 3” of Butler, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal.

However, Miami didn’t want to mortgage their future for a player who is aging and has a relatively high contract. Plus, the 36-year-old is seeking another lucrative contract.

Miami has been pursuing Durant since the 2016 offseason.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Miami Heat have traded Jimmy Butler to the Golden State Warriors in a massive four-team trade.

Miami will receive Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson, P.J. Tucker, and the Warriors’ top-10 protected first-round pick. The Utah Jazz will receive Dennis Schroder, with the Detroit Pistons receiving Lindy Waters III and Josh Richardson.

Initially, this four-team trade was supposed to be a five-team trade, but the agreement with the Toronto Raptors fell through. Anderson was being sent to Toronto.

Moments after Butler’s trade was publicly announced, it was then announced the 35-year-old signed a two-year, $121 million extension. This will keep the former disgruntled superstar through the 2026-27 season.

It is unclear when Butler will make his Warriors debut. This will be the fifth team played in his storied career.
