Jimmy Butler is planning on returning to the Miami Heat regardless of an extension, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.
"From what I understand, Jimmy Butler is going to plan to be back with the Miami Heat next year," Windhorst said during a Wednesday appearance on the Pat McAfee Show. "And even if there's no extension, he's going to focus on next season."
Anthony Slater of The Athletic wrote on May 30 that he would expect the Golden State Warriors to "enter the conversation" if the Heat chose to shop Butler.
