It’s been almost a month since Jimmy Butler moved his sides. While the former Miami Heat has left his former team for his good, it seems that problems aren’t going to leave him anytime soon. Butler, who has had a controversial end to his five and a half years-long stint with the Florida-based side, has once again found himself in hot waters. <\/p>

The six-time NBA<\/a> All-Star has been sued for allegedly failing to pay around $260K rent for a luxury property he leased in Florida. Not only this, but Butler has also allegedly caused damages worth $127K on the property.<\/p>

The case has been filed by Five Star Marketing and Promotions Inc. in Florida’s 11th Circuit Court. The company claims that Butler not only failed to pay two-months’ rent worth $260K but also made unauthorized modifications at the property. <\/p>

As per the reports, “Butler would owe double the rent, which would be $130,000 per month, if he stayed past the agreed to term without written permission from the landlord.”<\/em><\/p>

The high-end property was built in 2016 and has five bedrooms, six bathrooms and comes with a pool. It is valued at $10 million, per Realtor.com. The former Miami star signed the lease in August 2022. <\/p>

According to the lawsuit, Butler didn’t maintain the pool and damaged the HVAC system. Moreover, he was also alleged of denying the owner from making inspections. The often suspended forward at Miami owes $257,282 to the lawsuit company, which includes rent and the total cost of damages. <\/p>

While there are reports all over the place, Butler hasn’t made any comments about it yet. <\/p>

Jimmy Butler remains probable for Hornets’ clash on Monday<\/h2>

Butler was traded to the Golden State Warriors during of the 2025 trade deadline<\/a>. Though he had a bitter ending to his tenure at Miami, Butler was quick to get into momentum and score for his new side. In his first game as a Warrior, he scored 25 points, two rebounds and four assists. <\/p>

Since then, he has come up with some notable performances. Butler has perfectly teamed up with Stephen Curry to bring the struggling Warriors back on the track. In eight games that he has played for the Dubs, Butler is averaging 16.4 points, 5.8 rebounds and 5.6 assists. <\/p>

While everything was going great for everyone, he was sidelined from the 126-119 defeat to the 76ers with back spasms. The issue doesn’t seem to be a big concern, and he can make his return to the court. <\/p>

Butler has been listed as probable for the Hornets’ game as per Anthony Slater<\/a>. Apart from him, Jonathan Kuminga will miss another game as the Warriors haven’t cleared him yet. <\/p>

Notably, the Dubs are 1-1 after two of their five games on the road.<\/p>\n
