In his first season with the Heat, the now five-time All-Star is averaging 20.2 points, 6.6 rebounds and 6.1 assists while shooting 45.4 percent from the field, 24.8 percent from beyond the arc and 83.3 percent from the free-throw line.

Butler signed a four-year deal with the Heat last summer in free agency. The Sixers and Heat executed a sign-and-trade deal. Jimmy appears to have found a home with the South Beach franchise after traveling around the NBA the past few seasons.

The Heat are hoping the 2019-20 season resumes once the virus dies down since the team was on its way to making the playoffs after missing it in 2018-19.
