Saturday’s game against the Hawks marks the start of a back-to-back set for the Heat. Miami will close its three-game trip on Sunday against the Houston Rockets at Toyota Center, with Butler’s status for that game also up in the air.

Butler is remaining in Miami this weekend and "said to be working on conditioning," according to a Friday afternoon report from Ira Winderman of the Sun Sentinel. Winderman's report follows a Wednesday report from ESPN's Shams Charania that intimated Butler preferred to be traded.

Jimmy Butler will not play in the final two games of Miami’s ongoing road trip while recovering from illness, the team said Friday.
