The Miami Heat have yet to receive any attractive trade offers for Jimmy Butler, according to Brian Windhorst of ESPN.

“They’ve definitely gotten a lot of calls. The issue here is that most of the offers are not that attractive to the Heat. And that doesn’t surprise them because a month ago they heard some calls on Jimmy Butler and then they came out with that statement that they weren’t going to trade him because they really didn’t like any of the offers.

Right now you’re seeing a lot of teams testing just how low they might be able to buy Jimmy Butler for,” said Windhorst on SportsCenter.

Windhorst added that the Suns were the exception and continue to pursue a trade for Butler. With the Heat uninterested in taking back Bradley Beal’s contract, a potential trade would have to include three or four teams.

Windhorst added that he does see Butler eventually getting traded.

“It’s going to be a lot of talking, a lot of complicated maneuvering. I think Butler will eventually get moved but the Heat don’t like their hand right now at all,” added Windhorst.

Jonathan Kuminga suffered a “significant” sprained ankle during the Golden State Warriors’ 121-113 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Saturday night.

Kuminga is set to undergo an MRI on Sunday.

“It’s a sprained ankle. We’ll have more tomorrow. It is not going to be a day-to-day thing. It was a significant sprain. So we’ll just have a report tomorrow once we get a better feel for it,” said Steve Kerr.

Kuminga had scored 20 or more points in three out of his previous four games.

“I’m just glad we have the depth that we do. I’m glad we have Kyle [Anderson]. There was a reason we signed him and Buddy [Hield]. We added a lot of depth for this reason to be able to withstand some injuries,” added Kerr.

Steph Curry is expected to return on Sunday against the Kings.
