Butler, the disgruntled forward who has sought a trade from Miami, left the team's shootaround hours before its double-overtime win.

COOPER FLAGG AND THE DUKE BLUE DEVILS Cooper Flagg is at it again. Two days after a 24-7-6 night in a come-from-behind victory over Wake Forest, Flagg put on a clinic in the second half of Duke's 74-64 win over North Carolina State at Cameron Indoor Stadium Monday night.

Butler was suspended for Miami's most recent two games after missing a team flight to Milwaukee last week. He has now missed 15 of Miami's last 20 games, including 10 of the last 13 because of the suspensions — the first a seven-game ban for conduct that the team deemed detrimental, followed by the two-game suspension, and now the indefinite one.
