Golden State Warriors forward Jimmy Butler has been sued for allegedly failing to pay $260,000 in rent and leaving behind more than $127,000 in damages related to a luxury home he leased in Miami Beach, Fla.

Butler was traded from the Miami Heat to the Warriors last month after requesting a trade.

Five Star Marketing and Promotions, Inc., sued Butler in the 11th Circuit Court in Florida last week, outlining its allegations against Butler.

In the suit, the plaintiff contends Butler failed to pay two months of rent at $130,000 each month for the property.
