Jimmy Butler was back from suspension. Again. And then Butler got suspended by the Miami Heat. Again. Butler has been suspended for the third time this month by the Heat, this one starting basically just as the second one was ending.

The Miami Heat are suspending star forward Jimmy Butler indefinitely, CBS Sports NBA insider Bill Reiter confirmed Monday. The decision came after Butler walked out of a shootaround ahead of Monday's game against the Orlando Magic.

Butler, who has asked Miami for a trade, had missed 14 of Miami’s last 19 games entering Monday, including nine of the last 12 because of suspensions.

Depending on how you process any recent Heat news, that latter point feels correct, given some of Butler’s relationships with players on Miami’s roster. That is especially true of younger contributors who have grown to see Butler as a mentor no matter his team-related drama or level of candor.

Butler apparently walked out of shootaround Monday morning after learning the team wasn't going to start him in their game against the Orlando Magic, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. Haywood Highsmith will start in his place. Butler was set to return to the team Monday after serving a two-game suspension.

The Miami Heat have suspended Jimmy Butler for the third time in five weeks, this time an indefinite sanction issued Monday when the former All-Star forward left the team’s morning shootaround after being told he would not be returning from his previous suspension as a starter.
