MIAMI >> Jimmy Butler got introduced to the Miami Heat crowd for the first time in two weeks Friday night.

Not everyone was thrilled.

It was a mixed reaction — some cheers and definitely some boos, the latter of which is unusual for the home team to be hearing during pregame introductions — for Butler’s return to the Heat lineup after a seven-game suspension.

He played against the Denver Nuggets as planned, missed a jumper on Miami’s first possession, then got his first basket of the night on a dunk with 8:09 left in the opening quarter.

Butler missed Miami’s last seven games while serving the suspension for conduct that the team deemed detrimental. The team is trying to trade Butler, saying that the six-time All-Star has asked to be moved elsewhere.

But he remains in Miami, for now, and was in the lineup Friday night.

“In terms of silly questions about, like, ‘What’s the temperature of the room?’ or ‘How everybody’s feeling?,’ that just sounds so dramatic,” Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said. “We’re professionals. We’re fine. Ready for tonight’s game. That’s the only thing that matters.”

Butler’s agent, Bernie Lee, posted a letter on social media Friday with a very short message from Butler. “I’m back,” it said, the whole bit copying how Michael Jordan’s agent, David Falk, announced — in a fax — how Jordan was ending his retirement in March 1995 and returning to the Chicago Bulls.

The seven-game suspension will cost him about $2.4 million, though the National Basketball Players Association has said it will file an appeal.
