Jimmy Butler has been suspended indefinitely from the NBA.
According to reports, Butler was suspended indefinitely without pay after walking out of practice. His decision to leave practice early came after he was told that he was going to be replaced in the starting lineup for their game against the Orlando Magic on Monday.
This has been Butler’s third suspension from the team in the last month and was given to him while he was set to come back from his second suspension. In a statement, the Miami Heat said, “The suspension is due to a continued pattern of disregard for team rules, conduct detrimental to the team, and intentionally withholding services. This includes walking out of practice earlier today.”
Butler went on social media to make fun of his recent suspension, in which he posted multiple posts from the comedy hit, “Martin,” where the characters made fun of Tommy not having a job.
Former Miami Heat player, Kevin Love also joined in on the jokes with Butler. He posted on his Instagram the infamous “King Kong” clip from “Training Day” and wrote in the caption, “Jimmy immediately after hearing he wasn’t in the starting lineup… #haywoodhighsmithoverme??”
