Kevin Love is on a roll with another Jimmy Butler suspension meme
Jimmy Butler is not having the best of times with the Miami Heat. The superstar is already facing his second suspension as Pat Riley is yet to find a trade partner. With his conduct also on the downturn, the star now faces another lengthy layoff.
Jimmy Butler first faced a seven-game suspension after the Heat found out his conduct was detrimental to the team. The superstar was asked to stay away from their premises, and he instead chose to head over to the Unrivaled League to watch some basketball.
Then a few days ago, he missed a team flight for their road games out West. That landed him another two-game suspension. That meant, he was set to miss out on nearly $3 million in fines. Following that, Shams Charania had another major update earlier today.
The Miami Heat are suspending Jimmy Butler indefinitely, sources tell ESPN. Jimmy Butler walked out of Heat shootaround this morning after being informed the team is planning not to start him — with Haywood Highsmith starting — moving forward.

This means, the six-time All-Star is not going to come back to the team any time soon. Losing his starting spot probably hit him too hard and his walk out made the Heat front office lose theirs. Pat Riley and Erik Spoelstra are not ones who would tolerate such behavior.
Kevin Love’s trolls on Jimmy Butler’s suspension sends celebrities into splits
The Miami Heat might be tearing their hair apart trying to solve the Jimmy Butler problem. But one member of the franchise is having a blast as he uses movie-based memes to troll the situation. Kevin Love started off with a meme after his teammate’s first suspension.
Then after the second suspension, he posted a clip from the movie Casino where Joe Pesci slams Robert De Niro for talking behind his back. That clip has gone viral and brought out laughing reactions from many. The likes of Kevin Hart, LeBron James, Rich Paul, Kendrick Perkins and all filled the comments section with their reactions.
Now after Butler lost his place in the starting lineup, Kevin Love came up with another clip. This time it is from the movie Training Day where Denzel Washington threatens everyone by suggesting they will be playing basketball in Pelican Bay when he comes back.
It seems Kevin Love’s Instagram memes have led to A listers tuning in. He has found a new legion of fans, and his handle finds many new followers every day. As long as the Jimmy Butler saga keeps going, this will likely continue.
