Miami Heat president Pat Riley has broken silence on Jimmy Butler's situation with the team. After five years together, the veteran swingman and the three-time NBA champions have been rumored to part ways soon, with trade rumors getting louder by the day.
However, Riley spoke on this situation and made it clear that the Floridian franchise isn't moving Butler.
""We usually don't comment on rumors, but all this speculation has become a distraction to the team and is not fair to the players and coaches. Therefore, we will make it clear - We are not trading Jimmy Butler," he said in a statement shared on the team's official X/Twitter account.
