The Golden State Warriors' loss to the Miami Heat on Tuesday, Jan. 7, left them with a .500 record. Steve Kerr's team got off to a strong start to the 2024-25 season but has failed to build on that early momentum.

It looks like the Golden State Warriors might prefer the $20 million player over Jimmy Butler, who is on the verge of a Miami Heat exit.

The Miami Heat head to the Chase Center to face the Golden State Warriors in a non-conference matchup. The Heat are 17-17, which puts them in ninth place in the Eastern Conference. The Warriors are 18-17, which puts them in eighth place in the Western Conference.
