That gave Miami the pretext, and it suspended Butler “indefinitely,” a story broken by Shams Charania of The Athletic and since confirmed by the team.

Butler, the disgruntled forward who has sought a trade from Miami, left the team's shootaround hours before its double-overtime win.

The Jimmy Butler-Miami Heat saga officially came to an end on Wednesday, when the Heat traded Butler to the Golden State Warriors ahead of the NBA trade deadline. The deal ended a months-long feud between the two sides that saw the Heat suspend Butler on numerous occasions as he sought a trade.
