Miami Heat veteran Jimmy Butler was in the starting lineup for Friday’s 133-113 defeat at the hands of the Denver Nuggets after completing his seven-game suspension.
Butler recorded 18 points on 7-of-15 shooting. He played 33 minutes in his first appearance for the Heat since a loss to the Indiana Pacers on Jan. 2.
Miami’s starting five also included Tyler Herro, Duncan Robinson, Haywood Highsmith, and Bam Adebayo. The quintet makes up Miami’s most-used starting lineup this season.
