Suspended two games by Miami
Miami will suspend Butler for two games, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
Analysis
According to Charania, Butler missed a team flight Wednesday, so the Heat will respond with a two-game suspension that will force him to miss Thursday's game against the Bucks and Saturday's game against the Nets. Miami will return home to face the Magic on Monday, but there's no telling what will happen with Butler by then. Duncan Robinson, Terry Rozier and Jaime Jaquez could be more involved for the Heat in the meantime.

Returns with 18 points
Butler (suspension) finished Friday's 133-113 loss to the Nuggets with 18 points (7-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes.
Analysis
Seeing his first action since Jan. 2 following the completion of his team-imposed seven-game suspension, Butler looked a little rusty but still provided a decent showcase for prospective trade partners. The 35-year-old has made it apparent that he prefers to be moved out of Miami, but it's unclear if the organization has any intention of acquiescing to his demands prior to the Feb. 6 trade deadline. Until then, Butler looks like he'll but any discord with the franchise aside and continue playing his normal minutes in the starting five.

Set to return against Denver
Butler will return to the lineup Friday against the Nuggets, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
Analysis
After serving a seven-game suspension imposed by the team, Butler will return to the basketball floor against Denver. The 35-year-old veteran has made it abundantly clear that he wants to be traded, but Miami is seemingly finding it difficult to move him, resulting in this awkward situation. There's no telling how much time Butler will be on the floor Friday.

Not on injury report
Butler is not on the injury report after completing his seven-game suspension and will be available to return Friday against the Nuggets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis
Butler has stated that he wants to be traded, but it seems the star forward is not planning to sit until the Feb. 6 trade deadline. Instead, it seems Butler will play and be as available as possible for the Heat, perhaps aiming to show other teams he still has plenty to bring to the table. It's unclear how much usage rate he'll have, so his fantasy upside is a bit uncertain given his recent seven-game absence.
