Jimmy Butler Misses Game Against Magic Due to Illness

The Miami Heat star's absence follows an ankle injury and illness that cut short his previous game, fueling trade speculation.

Jimmy Butler was ruled out of the Miami Heat's Saturday game against the Orlando Magic due to illness, the team announced.
In Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Butler twisted his left ankle and exited in the first quarter, later ruled out due to illness.
This marks Butler's sixth missed game of the season, though it remains unclear how much additional time he might miss.
Butler's mid-game exit and absence from the short road trip to Orlando have reignited trade rumors surrounding the six-time All-Star.
Speculation about a potential trade has been ongoing, with reports suggesting the Phoenix Suns as a possible destination, though no official moves have been confirmed.
