Meeting with Arison the expected next step for Butler as Heat suspension draws to close

With the Miami Heat’s seven-game unpaid suspension of forward Jimmy Butler scheduled to be completed with Wednesday night’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.Com Arena, it is what follows the next day that could determine what comes next in the ongoing saga. That is when Heat owner Micky Arison is expected to meet with Butler ahead of Butler’s scheduled return Friday night against the Denver Nuggets at Kaseya Center. According to multiple NBA sources familiar with the process, Arison is not in favor of allowing Butler to remain away from the team while continuing to collect on a contract that pays $48.8 million this season. Less clear is the approach coach Erik Spoelstra would take with a reinstated Butler, whose suspension has been without pay.
