The Phoenix Suns swung a trade with the Utah Jazz on Tuesday in what many in NBA circles believe is a precursor for a full-scale run at a Jimmy Butler

The Heat said Butler missed the team's flight on Wednesday for Thursday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. Butler reportedly had plans to join the team Wednesday evening. However, the team decided instead to suspend him from the upcoming two-game road trip, which also includes a game against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday.

Despite rumors heating up significantly of late, there still appears to be no end in sight in terms of Jimmy Butler 's current trade drama with the Miami Heat. The six-time All-Star previously made his desire to leave South Beach public by demanding a trade -- a request that the Heat have yet to grant to this day.
