Jimmy Butler has made it pretty clear that he is hoping to be traded from the Miami Heat. If for some reason that does not happen, it is almost certain that he will leave in the summer as a free agent, with the 35-year-old having a player option for next season.

It's a volatile situation in Miami as Heat star Jimmy Butler plays out a seven-game suspension. Although it was initially believed that Butler would never return to the Heat, it's being reported by Heat insider Barry Jackson that Butler could rejoin the team unless they find a trade within the next week.

Bam Adebayo had 19 points, nine rebounds and five assists with two timely dunks down the stretch, and the Miami Heat snapped a three-game losing streak by beating the Golden State Warriors 114-98.

Prior to Tuesday's matchup in San Francisco, the Golden State Warriors got the day off following an ugly blowout loss to the Sacramento Kings on Sunday. While the Warriors had the day off, the Miami Heat came up short in a double overtime loss to the Kings on Monday.
