Daily News | After beating Sixers, Jimmy Butler professes his love for Joel Embiid: ‘I still wish I was on his team’
Immediately following his team winning a big Game 6 and advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals past the 76ers, former Sixer and current Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler was asked about his postgame message for his ex-teammate and friend Joel Embiid.

While Butler and Embiid bonded and have remained friends, Simmons became disenfranchised by Butler's playing and leadership style.
