Saturday’s game against the Hawks marks the start of a back-to-back set for the Heat. Miami will close its three-game trip on Sunday against the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center, with Butler’s status for that game also up in the air.

The Miami Heat have confirmed another Jimmy Butler blow, as the 35-year-old continues to remain in the headlines and the sidelines.

Butler is remaining in Miami this weekend and "said to be working on conditioning," according to a Friday afternoon report from Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel. Winderman's report follows a Wednesday report from ESPN's Shams Charania that intimated Butler preferred to be traded.
