\nJimmy Butler has participated in 25 games this season but will not return to play until his issues with the Miami Heat are settled. The team indefinitely suspended Butler on Monday after he exited a practice session upon being informed that he would be a substitute in future games. This incident marks Butler\u2019s third suspension of the current season.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nThis has transformed an already delicate situation into a completely untenable one for Miami, leaving the organization to figure out the next steps with their discontented star. In the interim, team president Pat Riley seems prepared to employ any necessary disciplinary actions.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nThis indefinite suspension has severely impacted Butler, both in terms of public perception and financial consequences.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nEarning $48.8 million this season, Butler will lose significant income due to the suspension, as he won\u2019t be receiving his regular game checks. The amount of salary forfeited depends on the specific reasons cited by the Heat for the suspension.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nWhen the Heat announced that Butler was suspended for \u201cintentionally withholding services,\u201d it indicated he would be forfeiting a considerable amount of his earnings.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(2\/2) The suspension is due to a continued pattern of disregard of team rules, engaging in conduct detrimental to the team and intentionally withholding services. This includes walking out of practice earlier today.<\/p>\n

\nAccording to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, Butler will lose $532,737 for each game missed due to the terms of the suspension. If Butler misses just five games, his losses will quickly surpass $2 million; a substantial hit to the All-NBA forward\u2019s finances.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nTo put that into context, Butler lost $2,355,801 in salary during his first suspension of the season, which was for conduct detrimental when he first publicly expressed his dissatisfaction. It appears he will soon exceed that amount this time around, given the harsher nature of the suspension and the financial penalties per game.\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\nThis is turning into a costly season for Butler.\n<\/p>\n
