MIAMI – With Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler making his return Friday night, the team would lose its third straight to the Denver Nuggets, 133-113. While the Heat are downplaying the drama, there is no doubt that fans and the basketball world alike would watch Butler's performance closely.

With his seven-game suspension over, Jimmy Butler returned to the Heat's starting lineup Friday night against the Nuggets and addressed his future plans with a short statement: "I'm back."

A: Based on all the narratives out there, of the moves have and have not been made, by now it is clear that Jimmy Butler has not been of the thought that Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo are ample enough to get him across the championship finish line.
