Previously, the NBA reportedly banned Jimmy Butler’s nameless jersey. Now, Butler is back in the news after footage re-surfaced of him talking about his altercations with Indiana Pacers player TJ Warren, who he blew a kiss at after the player was ejected. The two faced off against each other in January 2020, and Butler noted Warren was going to have to see him again for the things he said to him while they were on the court.
Since the NBA season has restarted, Butler has missed the past three Heat games due to a foot injury, but Butler told the NY Times is on deck to play against TJ Warren and the Indiana Pacers. The two players haven’t played against each other since January, as COVID-19 suspended the NBA. Now, the Pacers and Miami Heat are scheduled to play against each other on August 10 and August 14. Watch Butler’s previous statement about TJ Warren above.
