Butler publicly announced his displeasure with the Heat following a 128–115 loss to the Indiana Pacers on Jan. 2, stating that he hasn't been playing with "joy" in Miami. He hasn't played since that night, as the Heat issued a seven-game suspension for Butler over conduct detrimental to the team.

Jimmy Butler might have stirred the pot with him liking the Kevin Love's now viral Instagram post. Things seem to go South in Miami.

While Butler was suspended, Heat forward Kevin Love posted the “I'm not f*****g leaving” scene from The Wolf of Wall Street, captioning the post “LIVE LOOK – Jimmy after his meeting with Micky #getmyjoyback” in reference to Butler's comments about losing his joy on the court with the Heat. Butler spurned more headlines by liking the post.
