- The Miami Heat suspended forward Jimmy Butler for two games for missing a team flight, stating it was due to a continued pattern of disregard for team rules, insubordinate conduct, and conduct detrimental to the team, including missing today's team flight to Milwaukee.
- This is Butler's second suspension in three weeks, following a seven-game suspension for multiple instances of conduct detrimental to the team, indicating ongoing issues with team rules and his desire to be traded.
- Butler has expressed a wish to be traded, with the Phoenix Suns being his preferred destination, as reported by ESPN's Brian Windhorst, amidst speculation that he may have played his final game for the Heat.
- The Heat have not offered Butler a two-year, $113 million extension, which has contributed to the growing rift between him and the team, as he has missed about 25% of the games since joining in 2019.
