More on this storyline

Ira Winderman: Jimmy Butler (return to competition reconditioning) is out tonight in Orlando. Expected to meet team tomorrow and be available Saturday in Atlanta. -via Twitter @IraHeatBeat / December 26, 2024

Michael Scotto: Miami Heat executive Pat Riley: "We usually don't comment on rumors, but all this speculation has become a distraction to the team and is not fair to the players and coaches. Therefore, we will make it clear - We are not trading Jimmy Butler." -via x.com / December 26, 2024

Jimmy Butler did not travel with the Miami Heat to Orlando, but he was a popular topic of conversation at the Heat’s shootaround session on Thursday morning in Orlando. With ESPN’s Shams Charania reporting Wednesday that Butler prefers to be traded out of Miami, Heat coach Erik Spoelstra and players were asked about the ongoing speculation ahead of Thursday night’s matchup against the Magic at Kia Center. “That’s just the deal,” Spoelstra said of the ongoing speculation surrounding Butler’s future with the Heat. “You have to compartmentalize in this business. We want Jimmy here. There’s no ifs, ands or buts about it. And it’s just unfortunate that you have to control or deal with a lot of the noise on the outside. In terms of this morning, this was a pretty focused group coming off of the last game that we came [to Orlando].” -via Miami Herald / December 26, 2024
