Tragic: Miami Heat star player who played for the Celtics was discovered dead in the swimming pool.

Jimmy Butler, a key player for the Miami Heat, is taking a leave of absence due to a family member’s passing.

Jimmy’s representative, Bernie Lee, stated in a statement issued by the team, “Jimmy and his family ask for privacy at this point in time as they navigate this loss.” “Updates will be given when appropriate.”

On Sunday at 2:00 PM ET, the Heat will play the Boston Celtics at Kaseya Center. They will next leave for a six-game road trip, which starts on Tuesday and runs through February 29.

Butler has made 37 starts for Miami this season. With an average of 21.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.6 assists, he is on track to surpass his previous career high of 44.0 three-point shooting.

Six-time All-Star (17 points, 11 rebounds, and 11 assists) recorded a triple-double in the team’s most recent game, a 116-104 triumph over the San Antonio Spurs.
