Jimmy Butler on T.J. Warren Scuffle: 'Altercations End in Kisses All the Time'

Rob GoldbergJan 9, 2020

Jimmy Butler did his best to justify blowing a kiss at T.J. Warren while appearing on The Daily Show Thursday.

The Miami Heat star turned heads with his actions after a scuffle in Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers.

Butler then had a good response to host Trevor Noah, who said not many fights end in one person blowing a kiss to the other.ย 

"It wasn't really a fight, it was more of an altercation," the All-Star joked. "And you see altercations end in kisses all the time."

Regardless of what you call it, Butler was clearly heated during the game after a hard foul from Warren.

He clarified Thursday that he "didn't start it," but at least he had a sense of humor about it one day later.
