Michael Scotto: Jimmy Butler: “There was a lot said by everybody except for me to tell you the truth… Sooner or later, the whole truth will come out. Until then, we’ll continue to let people talk. If I’m here, I’ll get out there and play.”

Jimmy Butler: “It felt good to get out there, compete, and actually run around with these guys. As much as everybody may think, I don’t got a problem with these guys. These guys are cool.

More on this storyline
When asked if the situation with Miami is “fixable” or if his joy for the game has changed since expressing his discontent earlier this month, Butler offered a reserved response. “I was told to say ‘no comment,’ so no comment,” Butler noted. -via BasketNews / January 18, 2025
“It felt good to get out there and compete and actually run around with these guys. You know, as much as everybody may think, I got no problem with these guys, these guys are cool, they’re my friends. Some of them tapped in, some of y’all didn’t, don’t think I don’t know that. My beef not with him and never will be. Never has been, but it did feel good to get out there,” Butler concluded. -via BasketNews / January 18, 2025
“I laugh a lot,” Butler said. “I’ll tell you, my happiness off the court is at an all-time high. I’ve got the baby, I’ve got my friends, a lot of Domino’s and coffee is involved. I like Kev, but he not more petty than I am and he’s giving me a run for my money.” -via Clutch Points / January 18, 2025
