Miami Heat players found out in the middle of a game that their team had just traded Jimmy Butler; and a fan sitting courtside was the one who broke the news. The post WATCH: Courtside Fan Tells Miami Heat Players Their Team Just Traded Star Jimmy Butler — Right in the Middle of the Game first appeared on Mediaite.

Butler was informed at morning shootaround that he would come off the bench behind Haywood Highsmith against Orlando, which prompted Butler to walk out of the shootaround. That gave Miami the pretext, and it suspended Butler “indefinitely,” a story broken by Shams Charania of The Athletic and since confirmed by the team.
