Heat's Jimmy Butler Agrees to 'Significant' Multiyear Shoe Contract with Li-Ning

star has agreed to a "significant" multiyear signature shoe contract with Li-Ning, according to ESPN's Nick DePaula.

Free-agent swingman Evan Turner and Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum are among the active players also signed to the brand. Heat legend Dwyane Wade signed a lifetime deal with Li-Ning in 2018.

The 2019-20 season wasn't a career year for Butler by the numbers. He averaged 19.9 points, 6.7 rebounds and 6.0 assists, and his 24.4 percent clip on three-pointers was his second-lowest ever.

As the Heat unexpectedly advanced to the NBA Finals, though, Butler saw his already large profile skyrocket.
