Rival Execs Believe Jimmy Butler Could Be Heading To Philly

Despite Jimmy Butler having two years left on his current deal, the 34-year-old wants a contract extension that may be a little too high for Pat Riley and the Miami Heat.

He is eligible for a two-year, $113 million extension to tack onto the remaining one-year left on the deal with a player option in 2025-26.

Even though he took the Heat to the Finals two times during his tenure (2020, 2023), Miami’s position on giving him more guaranteed money is unknown. If they decide not to extend him, then rival executives believe the Philadelphia 76ers will trade for Butler for a “family reunion.”

This is according to Marc Stein, as it’s believed Daryl Morey wants to add another piece to go with Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid, almost running it back with Butler after a current five-year break.

Rival teams will keep their eye on Philly and Miami, especially since Morey has more than $60 million to play with and a roster to build for championships.

Joel Embiid Suffers Sinus Fracture; Out At Least A Week

According to the Philadelphia 76ers, they will be without Joel Embiid for at least the next week due to their big man suffering a right sinus fracture.

The injury happened last Friday against the Indiana Pacers, which saw Bennedict Mathurin attempt to grab the rebound; however, upon landing, his arm crashed into the face of the 30-year-old.

Once Embiid went to the locker room, he never returned to the bench.

Embiid has only played in six of the 23 games this season.

Joel Embiid To Miss Multiple Games With Knee Swelling

According to the Philadelphia 76ers, Joel Embiid has suffered swelling in his left knee and will require time off to heal.

Right now, Embiid is set to miss at least two games, as the 30-year-old was ruled out for Friday’s game and has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Thirty minutes before tip off, Embiid was ruled out for the game on Friday against the Brooklyn Nets. The expectation was for him to test his knee out, but he never made it onto the court.

Embiid has only played in four of the fifteen possible games this season.
