Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler will sit out Saturday’s game against the host Atlanta Hawks due to an undisclosed personal family issue, the team announced.

Multiple media reports noted that Butler could return to play in Sunday’s game against the host San Antonio Spurs.

Butler, 34, is averaging 18.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 3.4 assists in seven games this season.

Also, the Heat ruled out forward Caleb Martin for Saturday’s game due to a knee injury.
