The impact of Jimmy Butler's latest suspension from the Miami Heat has seemingly reached his credit card.
The six-time NBA All-Star posted a video on his Instagram story on Tuesday of him attempting to use his credit card. While tapping it to pay, it appeared to decline, prompting someone around Butler to joke: "You're currently unemployed so your card doesn't work, sir. Sorry."
Butler cracked a smile then inserted his American Express card to complete the $107 purchase.
The Heat suspended Butler indefinitely on Monday, his third suspension of the season.
The team said the suspension was due to "a continued pattern of disregard of team rules, engaging in conduct detrimental to the team and intentionally withholding services." Butler had walked out of practice earlier that day after being told he would be moved out of the starting lineup for Haywood Highsmith.
ESPN's Shams Charania reported on Dec. 10 that the Heat were open to trading Butler. On Christmas Day, Charania then reported that Butler preferred a trade out of Miami before the forward indicated exactly that to the franchise on Jan. 2. The NBA's trade deadline is Feb. 6.
Butler is averaging 17.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 4.8 assists in just 25 games this season. He faces losing $532,737 per game under the most recent suspension.
