Jimmy Butler misses practice with excused absence

After putting together an impressive performance in the Miami Heat’s Saturday win over the Denver Nuggets, Jimmy Butler was not with the team for practice Sunday.

Erik Spoelstra declines to comment further, nor offer update on Butler's status for Monday afternoon vs. Raptors. https://t.co/mh6kNCQue0

Jae Crowder commented on the absence, saying that, “It’s definitely a curve ball to us to hear stuff like what’s going on with him.” Who knows what that is referring to, but I just hope Butler and his family are OK.
