Lee stated, “Jimmy Butler has been given a leave of absence to help him deal with the loss of a family member.” “At this time, as they process this loss, Jimmy and his family ask for privacy. There will be updates when necessary.
When Butler will return to the reigning Eastern Conference champions and how many games he will miss while he is out are unknown.
With 5.5 rebounds, 4.6 assists, and 21.4 points per game, Butler, 34, is averaging. But since the Heat acquired guard Terry Rozier in a trade with the Charlotte Hornets, they have struggled and are currently 4-5.
