Butler will return to the lineup Friday against the Nuggets,NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
After serving a seven-game suspension imposed by the team, Butler will return to the basketball floor against Denver. The 35-year-old veteran has made it abundantly clear that he wants to be traded, but Miami is seemingly finding it difficult to move him, resulting in this awkward situation. There's no telling how much time Butler will be on the floor Friday.

Heat's Jimmy Butler: Not on injury report
Butler is not on the injury report after completing his seven-game suspension and will be available to return Friday against the Nuggets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Butler has stated that he wants to be traded, but it seems the star forward is not planning to sit until the Feb. 6 trade deadline. Instead, it seems Butler will play and be as available as possible for the Heat, perhaps aiming to show other teams he still has plenty to bring to the table. It's unclear how much usage rate he'll have, so his fantasy upside is a bit uncertain given his recent seven-game absence.

Heat's Jimmy Butler: Plans to play after suspension
Butler (suspension) plans to play for the Heat following his suspension, and Miami isn't close to trading the superstar forward, per NBA reporter Chris Haynes.
ESPN's Shams Charania reported Tuesday morning that Butler, who's currently serving a seven-game suspension for multiple instances of conduct detrimental to the team, had a face-to-face meeting with team president Pat Riley last week and reiterated that he wants to be traded and will not sign a new deal in Miami. The Heat are currently in seventh place in the Eastern Conference with a 20-18 record and have had Butler's services for only 22 games. And when he's been available, the veteran hasn't been playing his usual minutes, averaging 30.8 per game -- his lowest mark since the 2012-13 campaign. Butler has one more game remaining -- Wednesday against the Lakers -- before he's eligible to suit up again, and it sounds like he'll be back in the rotation Friday against Denver. However, his effort level and usage moving forward is anyone's guess. The Heat are attempting to cooperate with Butler's trade demand, but there hasn't been a sense of urgency ahead of the Feb. 6 deadline. Butler has been linked to the Suns, Warriors, Mavericks and Rockets.

Heat's Jimmy Butler: Receives seven-game suspension
The Heat announced in a statement Friday that they have suspended Butler for the next seven games for multiple instances of conduct detrimental to the team. "Through his actions and statements, he has shown he no longer wants to be part of this team," the statement reads. "Jimmy Butler and his representative have indicated that they wish to be traded, therefore, we will listen to offers."
The suspension comes on the heels of Butler implying in postgame comments following Thursday's 128-115 loss to the Pacers that Nuggets that he didn't believe he could find joy in playing if he were to stick around with Miami. Butler recently put in a request to be traded, and though Heat president Pat Riley said in a statement issued Dec. 26 that the star forward wouldn't be moved, the team is now open to trade discussions. Butler will be eligible to rejoin the Heat for their Jan. 17 game against the Nuggets, but there's no guarantee he'll still be a member of the roster once his suspension is over.
