Joel Embiid wishes that Jimmy Butler had remained with the Philadelphia 76ers
Jimmy Butler spent much of the 2018-19 season with the Philadelphia 76ers, and the four-time All-Star played a big role as the team almost reached the Eastern Conference Finals. However, Butler left in free agency as he opted to sign a four-year, $140 million contract with the Miami Heat.

We lost a big piece in Jimmy. He did a lot of great things for us. When it was the fourth quarter, we knew the ball was gonna be in either me or Jimmy's hands. That’s my brother forever, I wish he was on the team.
In total, Butler played 55 times during his stint with the Sixers, averaging 18.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game.
