Jimmy Butler is him.
Miami Heat’s Jimmy Butler found himself ejected from last night’s clash against the New Orleans Pelicans after a heated altercation with Naji Marshall.
The scuffle ignited when Kevin Love fouled Zion Williamson, prompting Butler and Marshall to exchange shoves, escalating the tension on the court.
Despite Butler’s early exit, the Heat managed to secure a convincing victory over the Pelicans.
Following the game, Butler took to Instagram, sharing a video of himself departing the Smoothie King Center while gesturing to the crowd with his finger. His caption, “It’s that time,” left fans speculating about its meaning.
