Jimmy Butler's status for Saturday's game remains up in the air.
Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reported that the star guard "has yet to rejoin the Heat" and is still in Miami and focusing on "return to competition reconditioning." Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald added that the team had "expected" Butler to join the team for Saturday's game in Atlanta.
Miami takes on the Atlanta Hawks at 7 p.m. ET Saturday in Atlanta and will then travel to Houston to face the Rockets on Sunday night. The Heat do not return to Miami until New Year's Day.
