Miami Heat star player Jimmy Butler [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jimmy-butler/] returned to the courts after missing two games. He was back in the starting lineup Wednesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves after missing Miami’s past two games for personal reasons. JIMMY BUTLER: CORNERED Three Minnesota Timberwolves players, led by All-Star point guard D’Angelo Russell [https://stats.nba.com/player/1626156/], blocked Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler at the rim with 1.2 seconds left to secure a thrilling comeback victory in South Beach. This is an amazing win by the Timberwolves without superstar big man Karl-Anthony Towns. It marks just the second time Minnesota won a game in their last 20 contests. Russell led the Timberwolves with 27 points in 21 minutes. Another newcomer Malik Beasley poured in 21 points and Juancho Hernangomez scored 17. D’Angelo Russel was optimistic about his play, “Coach [Ryan Saunders] showed a lot of trust in me,” Russell said. “I’ve been in situations throughout my career where teams have made that substitution and went all defensive lineup, no hiccup, no weaknesses. For him to trust me and to believe I would be there to execute, that’s just our chemistry growing.” Jimmy Butler [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/SPORTS-BKN-TWOLVES-HEAT-6-MI_58278101.jpg] JIMMY BUTLER DELIVERS REGARDLESS Both teams traded free throws again, but McLaughlin made a layup with eight seconds left to put Minnesota up by one. Without any timeouts, Jimmy Butler took the ball up-court and went straight to the basket — a good play, unlike his ill-advised 3-point attempt in Miami’s loss to the Atlanta Hawks last week. But Butler’s shot didn’t fall. Butler returned from his two-game absence. He scored 18 points on 4-of-10 shooting from the field and 10-for-11 shooting from the foul line. Butler also dished out nine assists but committed four turnovers. Minnesota isn’t going to make the playoffs this season. However, this game just shows the group of players in The Twin Cities haven’t given up on head coach Ryan Saunders.

<h2>Jimmy Butler’s Net Worth 2023, Family, House, Cars, and More</h2>
<h2><b>Jimmy Butler’s Net Worth 2023 (Update)</b></h2>
Jimmy Butler currently has an estimated net worth of $80 million. Despite being homeless during his teenage, Butler has made a fortune thanks to his grit and hard work. For the 2022-23 season, the superstar earned $37 million in salary. Over the course of his 12-year NBA career so far, the forward has reportedly received over $200 million in salary. Furthermore, Butler pockets around $10 million per year from his endorsements.
<h2><b>Jimmy Butler’s Early Life </b></h2>
Jimmy Butler was born on September 14, 1989, in Houston, where he spent most of his early years. He graduated from Tomball High School, Texas in 2007, where he was a basketball superstar. Butler then attended Tyler Junior College, since he was not considered a huge college prospect. After his freshman year, the 6'7" star accepted an offer from Marquette to play college basketball in 2008. Butler graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from Marquette in 2011.
<h2><b>Jimmy Butler’s Family and Personal Life</b></h2>
Jimmy Butler's parents are Jimmy Butler Senior and Londa Butler. The 6-time NBA All-Star had a very tough childhood. His father abandoned the family when Jimmy was an infant. Also, according to various reports, Londa kicked Jimmy out of the house when he was just 13 years old. The teenager was homeless and spent years alternating between friends' couches. He did not have a stable roof over his head until he was 17 when he met his close friend, Jordan Leslie, at a basketball camp.

[caption id="attachment_1404663" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1404663 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-12-18T014609Z_1807583011_UP1EICI04WUXV_RTRMADP_3_BASKETBALL-NBA-SAS-MIA.jpg" alt="Jimmy Butler" width="1920" height="1454" /> Basketball - NBA - San Antonio Spurs v Miami Heat - Arena CDMX, Mexico City, Mexico - December 17, 2022 Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler in action REUTERS/Carlos Perez Gallardo[/caption]

They soon became very close friends. Jordan's mother, Michelle Lambert, and stepfather already had seven children to take care of. Despite this, Michelle insisted Butler stay with their family when she found out he was homeless. Even though Jimmy was abandoned by his biological parents, he does not hold any grudge and maintains a good relationship with them.

Butler has been in a romantic relationship with Kaitlin Nowak since 2019. Nowak is a model and entrepreneur who tries to stay from the spotlight. The couple welcomed their daughter Rylee in October 2019.
<h2><b>Jimmy Butler’s Basketball Career</b></h2>
Jimmy Butler was a high school basketball superstar at Tomball High School, despite being homeless. However, he was not a huge prospect and so he decided to attend Tyler Junior College. He then attracted interest from various Division I schools after his freshman year, including Marquette. Jimmy accepted Marquette's scholarship and continued his development by playing college basketball for the next three years. He won multiple accolades for his performances in college. After graduating in 2011, he declared for the NBA draft.

Again, Jimmy was not considered a big prospect, and many teams passed up on the opportunity to draft him. The Chicago Bulls selected him as the 30th overall pick in the first round. In his rookie season, he did not get much playing time. His patience paid off in his sophomore season as he saw a considerable jump in playing time. However, Jimmy had to ply his time and prove he can be a good asset to the team. So he worked hard on the defensive end and earned the starting spot in his third year in the league.

The next year, Jimmy averaged 20 points per game and earned his first All-Star appearance. He continued his ascension and became the main man for the Bulls. In 2017, he was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves. After just one season, the Timberwolves traded him to the Philadelphia 76ers. The trend continued as the 76ers then traded Butler to the Miami Heat after just one season.

Finally, Jimmy found his home in Miami. It is arguably a match made in heaven given the mentality of Butler and the renowned Heat Culture. In his first season with the Heat, Jimmy led the team to the 2019-20 NBA Finals. Unfortunately, the team lost the title against the Los Angeles Lakers. Fast forward to the 2022-23 season, and he has again willed his team to the Finals despite being the 8th seed.
