This is the reason why Jimmy Butler did not play many games last season

Many NBA rumors circulated in the media last year regarding the periods of total disconnection that Jimmy Butler took. The atmosphere became very tense at Miami Heat with the team's elimination in the first round, after their record plummeted during February due to the player's prolonged absence. Now the reason for this has been revealed.

He has always been a special player, a unique character capable of going from nothing to everything in the blink of an eye, of procrastinating during the regular season and dressing up as a superstar in the postseason. Jimmy Butler is a born competitor, a voracious animal when important matters are at stake, and a true leader. At 35 years old, he seems to have one foot out of Miami Heat, but at the risk of ending the franchise, the reason for his inconsistent performance last year and his absence in February has now been unveiled.

On February 8, Butler's father passed away after a long battle with cancer. "No amount of money could fix that, basketball became unimportant in my life," declared Jimmy Butler in the Netflix documentary, handling the matter with complete discretion and aiming to regain his best form for Miami Heat in this new season.
