The Miami Heat have suspended forward Jimmy Butler seven games for "multiple instances of conduct detrimental to the team." In addition, Miami confirmed it

Miami Heat All-Star swingman Jimmy Butler has been suspended by his own team for seven games following a heated, contentious last several months, while the 6-foot-7 small forward has very visibly pined to be traded away from the team.

Jimmy Butler's efforts to force his way off the Miami Heat have proved fruitless thus far. But it's early days yet. It's been about a month since rumors first popped up that Butler wanted a trade and less than a week since he made it public before getting suspended for conduct detrimental to the team.
