“You understand that his business at the end of the day, and I’ll leave it at that. J.B. [Jimmy Butler] is one of my guys. So, for me, we give him space and we let him and management handle it, get involved in that,” Heat star Bam Adebayo to @andscape. bit.ly/4fZq6NH – 8:14 PM

More on this storyline
According to a source close to Butler, he does plan on reporting for basketball duty. And considering all the money he has lost since Miami dropped the proverbial hammer ($2.35 million in all), this choice to clock in should come as a surprise to no one. But will he actually play? That much remains to be seen. -via New York Times / January 16, 2025
Anthony Chiang: During Udonis Haslem’s appearance on NBA Today this afternoon, he didn’t want to comment on the Jimmy Butler situation. But Haslem did say this: “I will say this, guys, there’s one thing that we do say. You’re either in or you’re out and there’s no in between. That’s what I’m going to say and I’m going to leave it at that.” -via Twitter @Anthony_Chiang / January 15, 2025
The Miami Heat are considering changing Jimmy Butler’s supension designation from conduct detrimental to team’ to ‘refusal to provide services’, NBA insider Chris Haynes reported. However, such a change will double the fine tally for the player. The designation remains the same, but is also fluid, Haynes noted. -via BasketNews / January 15, 2025
