Heat reportedly suspend Butler indefinitely

Jimmy Butler's third suspension of this month comes after he walked out of the Heat's shoot-around after learning he wasn't going to start.

Jimmy Butler may have played his last game for the Miami Heat.

The Heat suspended Butler indefinitely on Monday, according to Shams Charania of ESPN.

Butler was set to return for Miami's game against the Orlando Magic after serving a two-game suspension for missing the team's flight to Milwaukee last Wednesday.

During Monday's team shoot-around, Butler was reportedly told he wouldn't be in the starting lineup, and he promptly walked out, which led to the team suspending him.

This is the third time the Heat have suspended Butler in just over four weeks. He was initially suspended seven games on January 3 for detrimental conduct.

That ban was handed down one day after the 13-year veteran told reporters he was losing his passion for playing following the Heat's home loss to the Indiana Pacers after it was reported he wanted to be traded.

When announcing the seven-game suspension, the Heat also said they would listen to trade offers for the disgruntled six-time All-Star.

The NBA's trade deadline is Thursday, February 6, so Butler may no longer be with the Heat by the time his suspension is lifted.

The 35-year-old Butler wants out of Miami, but working out a trade could be difficult with his $48.8million salary this season.

On the season, Butler is averaging 17.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists, but he's missed 14 of Miami's 19 games dating to December 21, sitting out nine of the last 12 due to the two suspensions.

In the last five games he's played, he's averaged just 11.4 points, 3.2 boards and 4.6 assists.
