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.

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 team said Monday that Butler left Monday's shootaround early, in advance of a game against the Orlando Magic. He is expected to miss at least five games.
