Jimmy Butler is fed up with his situation yet again. The former Minnesota Timberwolves guard and current Miami Heat star, publicly spoke out about his loss of “joy” and his desire to be traded (per ESPN’s Shams Charania and Brian Windhorst) after Thursday night’s loss to the Indiana Pacers.
On Thursday night, the Indiana Pacers dominated the Miami Heat, winning 128-115. Tyrese Haliburton scored 33 points to go with 15 assists, and the Pacers held Jimmy Butler to nine points. The six-time All-Star did not play in the fourth quarter.
Butler's All-Star teammate Bam Adebayo appeared to downplay Butler's comments as a result of frustration from the team's loss. “Think it’s a bad night all around," Adebayo said of Butler's comments. "Lose the game, obviously he’s frustrated, he feels like he’s standing in the corner, so he’s got a lot of things going on in his corner."
