Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler may return to action against the Denver Nuggets on Friday, according to the team’s injury report. If he plays, it would be his first game since a suspension for seven games, citing conduct deemed detrimental to the team. Butler was not with the team during its six-game road trip and met with team officials this week, fueling speculation about his future with the Heat. The team has been engaged in trade talks with Butler, who wants to be traded, but the process is complicated due to new collective bargaining agreement rules.
