For a second straight night after returning from a five-game absence, Heat star Jimmy Butler appeared passive and disengaged during his time on the court on Thursday, writes Ira Winderman of The South Florida Sun Sentinel.
“I want to see me get my joy back from playing basketball,” Butler said. “And wherever that may be, we’ll find out here pretty soon. I want to get my joy back. I’m happy here... off the court. But I want to be back to someone dominant. I want to hoop and I want to help this team win. Right now, I’m not doing that.”
