Jimmy Butler wasn’t available for the Miami Heat’s last three games, but when he returned for Friday night’s clash against the New Orleans Pelicans, he brought his regular intensity to the floor.
Until that intensity went a touch too far.
Butler was one of four players ejected from Friday night’s contest at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans after being at the center of a scuffle that led to both benches clearing early in the fourth quarter. Heat teammate Thomas Bryant and Pelicans players Naji Marshall and Jose Alvarado were also ejected for their actions in the altercation.
