Jaime Jaquez Jr.

The seven-game suspension Butler served earlier this month was not the last of his disciplinary issues. According to Charania, the Heat forward missed Miami's flight to Milwaukee for Thursday's game against the Bucks. While Butler reportedly planned to rejoin his teammates on Wednesday night, he'll remain home for Miami's two-game road trip. His next opportunity to play will be Monday night against Orlando. Nikola Jovic and Jaime Jaquez Jr. are the players to target with Butler suspended.

Butler will be in the starting lineup in his first game back from a seven-game suspension. Even with his stated desire to be traded, he's in a position where he can provide high value. Whether Butler looks at this as an opportunity to boost his value to other teams or a chance to show his continued displeasure will be one of the major storylines on Friday. His return also means Robinson will start due to the need for spacing, with Terry Rozier and Jaime Jaquez Jr. heading to the bench. Managers who have Jaquez or Nikola Jovic rostered should hold onto them until the Butler situation is resolved.

Butler is set to return from his seven-game team-imposed suspension Friday. It's a little hard to believe that the 35-year-old small forward is continuing to play for the Heat after what's been a very public war of words between himself and the front office. Nothing has changed with Butler's trade demands. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Nikola Jovic will be impacted the most by Butler's return.

Butler's seven-game suspension is up, and it appears that they're preparing for him to return to the team. Nothing has changed as far as his trade demands, so it will be interesting to see if and how the team uses him, assuming nothing changes before tipoff. Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Nikola Jovic will both take hits if Butler returns to playing a significant role.

Butler has one more game left on his suspension, which means that he could return to the lineup for Friday's matchup with Denver. It's unclear if that will actually end up happening, but his return would take minutes away from Jaime Jaquez Jr. and Nikola Jovic, who have both been playing well recently.
