Jimmy Butler’s representative, Bernard Lee, recently suggested on social media that the Miami Heat star plans to step away from the public eye once he concludes his NBA career.
The 34-year-old, currently in his 13th season in the league, has an extensive basketball journey, having played for the Chicago Bulls, Philadelphia 76ers, and Minnesota Timberwolves before joining the Heat in 2019.
In the ongoing 2023-24 season, Butler continues to be a vital part of the Heat, averaging 21.5 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 4.7 assists per game.
I can remove the guess work for you… his next stop will be the crib… once he’s done, he will not be seen again. https://t.co/WpW6xPFxfh

Notably, he has showcased his scoring prowess by reaching the 20-point mark in nine out of his last 10 games. Despite a recent 21-point effort against the Denver Nuggets on February 29, where the Heat fell short by six points, Butler remains a key contributor.
Looking ahead, the Heat aim to recover from the loss to the Nuggets as they face the struggling Utah Jazz on Saturday. The Jazz, with a record of 27-33, currently sit outside the Western Conference playoff picture.
Following this matchup, Miami will encounter the Detroit Pistons on March 5, a team with a challenging season but coming off a surprising 10-point victory over the Chicago Bulls.
