On Monday evening, the Miami Heat are playing the Orlando Magic (without Jimmy Butler).

Before the game, the team announced that they had suspended the six-time NBA All-Star.

Via The Miami Heat:

"The Miami HEAT are suspending Jimmy Butler without pay effective immediately for an indefinite period to last no fewer than five games.... The suspension is due to a continued pattern of disregard of team rules, engaging in conduct detrimental to the team and intentionally withholding services. This includes walking out of practice earlier today."

(2/2) The suspension is due to a continued pattern of disregard of team rules, engaging in conduct detrimental to the team and intentionally withholding services. This includes walking out of practice earlier today.
