Five-time NBA All-Star Jimmy Butler has finally returned to basketball after being indefinitely suspended by the Miami Heat, as they traded him to the Golden State Warriors ahead of the trade deadline. The Heat received Andrew Wiggins, Kyle Anderson, and a 2025 top-ten protected first-round draft pick.

Jimmy Butler arrived to the Golden State Warriors with a new look with his uniform and a new outlook since his trade from the Miami Heat.

"I think we have enough respect for each other that we texted each other once the deal went through just to wish each other the best on it," Spoelstra said. "And we also have that respect that you want each other to learn about the respective players without any kind of influence."
