The Jimmy Butler situation with the Miami Heat appears to be getting worse by the day after the six-time All-Star was suspended for the second time in three weeks.

Appearing on SportsCenter (starts at :55 mark), ESPN's Shams Charania noted the situation has become "untenable," with Heat players and staff members calling it a "distraction" and "chaos" within the organization.

The Heat announced on Wednesday that Butler has been suspended two games for a "continued pattern of disregard of team rules, insubordinate conduct and conduct detrimental to the team" after he missed the team flight to Milwaukee for Thursday's game against the Bucks.
