What is happening with Jimmy Butler?

Jimmy Butler is going through a tough period. After the Miami Heat star expressed his desire to leave the franchise, he has been at the receiving end of multiple suspensions. On Thursday, Tim Reynolds from AP reported that Butler had received a second suspension in three weeks.

The suspension came on the grounds of "insubordinate conduct" after Butler missed Heat's flight to Milwaukee. The Heat were scheduled to play the Bucks on Thursday and the Nets on Sunday but Butler decided not to show up, reaffirming his desire to leave.

In his personal life, Butler has been going through a court battle with his ex-girlfriend Kaitlin Nowak. The issue at hand here is the Heat star's denial to pay an extra $10,000 for a nanny on top of the $55,000 he already pays per month.

According to Daily Mail, Jimmy Butler has questioned the spending habits of his ex-girlfriend and asked questions about the extra $10,000.
