MIAMI -- After playing for the first time in two weeks following his seven-game suspension from the Miami Heat, forward Jimmy Butler said Friday night that he and the franchise "are where we are" when it comes to their relationship less than three weeks before the Feb. 6 trade deadline.
"I guess it's basketball at this point," Butler said after scoring 18 points in 33 minutes in a 133-113 loss to the Denver Nuggets at Kasaya Center. "I know what I'm expected to do while I'm here and try to do that to the best of my ability, but we are where we are.
