Jimmy Butler left fans disappointed at the Miami Heat’s media day on Monday.
The Heat held a media day Monday to celebrate the beginning of the team’s training camp ahead of the 2024-2025 NBA season. Over the last few years, Butler has shown up to the team’s media day sporting an eccentric look and fashion style.
In 2022, Butler showed up with dreadlocks, and last year, he had an emo-style.

The Heat went just 46-36 last season and lost in five games in the first round of the playoffs to the eventual-champion Boston Celtics. Perhaps the down season for the Heat, coupled with Pat Riley’s obvious frustration with Butler, led the 6-time All-Star to take things more seriously this year.
