Butler (personal) won't join the Heat for the team's two-game road trip Tuesday in Milwaukee and Wednesday in Philadelphia, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Butler was granted a leave of absence from the team over the weekend following the death of a family matter. After he wasn't in attendance for Sunday's 110-106 loss to the Celtics, Butler will remain away from the team for its road trip to close out the pre-All-Star-break portion of the schedule. With Josh Richardson (shoulder) out indefinitely and Terry Rozier (knee) uncertain to be available for the back-to-back set, the Heat could be forced to rely heavily on Tyler Herro, Jaime Jaquez, Duncan Robinson and Caleb Martin to fill out minutes at the guard and forward spots.

Butler (personal) won't play Sunday versus Boston.

EDGE Analysis

According to a statement from his agent, Bernie Lee, Butler has been granted a leave of absence from the team following the death of a family member. The Heat will likely give Butler as much time as he needs away from the team to address the personal matter, making it uncertain if he'll be available for Miami's road back-to-back set Tuesday and Wednesday in Milwaukee and Philadelphia, respectively, to close out the pre-All-Star-break schedule. Miami will likely reopen a spot in the rotation for Haywood Highsmith on Sunday while Butler sits out, and Jaime Jaquez, Duncan Robinson and Caleb Martin are all candidates to absorb some of Butler's minutes.

Butler is isted as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Celtics for personal reasons, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Butler missed Friday's practice due to personal reasons but is hopeful to play against Boston. Some combination of Duncan Robinson, Jaime Jaquez, Haywood Highsmith and Caleb Martin would presumably absorb the star wing's minutes if he is ultimately unable to go.

Butler finished with 17 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, 11 assists, one block and three steals in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 116-104 victory over the Spurs.

EDGE Analysis

Butler has attempted 12 or fewer field goals in three of his last four games, but he's been making an impact in other categories outside of solely the scoring column. He can still take over games if needed, but his ability to stuff the stat sheet remains among the best in the NBA. This was his first triple-double of the campaign, and he's averaging 21.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.8 steals per game over his last 10 appearances.

Butler provided 23 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 9-12 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and three steals across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 121-95 victory over the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

During that latter stretch, the veteran forward is averaging 22.7 points, 5.8 boards, 4.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.3 threes while shooting 58.8 percent from the floor and a dazzling 57.1 percent from beyond the arc.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran forward led all scorers on the night, but his efforts went for naught as Miami's bench got outscored 48-30.

Butler has posted 28 or more points in eight games this season while hauling in at least eight rebounds in three outings. Butler's trio of threes matched a season high mark, a feat he has accomplished twice this season.
