As the Miami Heat completed a six-game road trip on the West Coast, it was all played without star Jimmy Butler serving a seven-game suspension. Now that Butler is off the injury report for a “team suspension,” there are still questions if he will truly play Friday night as the Heat host the Denver Nuggets.

Butler’s seven-game suspension by the Heat for conduct they deemed to be detrimental to the team is now over and he returned to the Heat lineup for the first time in two weeks, scoring 18 points in Miami’s 133-113 loss to the Denver Nuggets.
