Jared Butler, predictably, is here to stay for now. The 24-year-old floor general leaving a good enough impression over the next two months to factor into the Sixers’ guard rotation in 2025-26 would be helpful:

Sixers trail the Nets 53-49 at the half.
Some nice drive and dishes from Jared Butler, who has 6 points and 6 assists as the starting point. The other newcomer, Quentin Grimes, has 13 on 4-8 shooting. Justin Edwards added 9 off the bench. Paul George is present. – 8:40 PM

Takeaways from Nick Nurse’s pregame presser:
Jared Butler and Jeff Dowtin will man the point for the 76ers tonight. Both are two-ways and have had limited reps in the rotation.
Andre Drummond and Adem Bona will see time at center. Both have seen limited playing time of late. – 6:14 PM

Some rotation notes for tonight, courtesy of Nick Nurse:
• Jared Butler + Jeff Dowtin Jr. should be the point guards with Tyrese Maxey and Kyle Lowry out. Currently unclear which one will start.
• Andre Drummond + Adem Bona, both out of the rotation of late, will likely play. – 6:08 PM

No scouting report of a player has ever been more accurate than @Michael_Levin calling Jared Butler “competent.” Just knows exactly what he’s doing all the time and never appears out of his depth. – 9:00 PM

Halftime: Raptors 50, Sixers 52.
Joel Embiid has 17 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3P, 8-9 FT), but the rest of the Sixers have struggled to score. Their next leading scorers are Jared Butler (8 points) and Quentin Grimes (7 points). Scottie Barnes leads Toronto with 16 points. – 8:10 PM

Keith Pompey: Jared Butler is a player the 76ers have liked since the 2021 NBA draft, where he was selected 40th overall by the New Orleans Pelicans and traded to the Utah Jazz a week later. The point guard averaged 6.9 points and 2.6 assists in 11.3 minutes over 32 games off the bench this season for the Washington Wizards. The Sixers have been impressed with his high basketball IQ. The 6-foot-3, 195-pounder is a good passer and a solid shooter with a competitive spirit. The sense is Butler can make the game easier for teammates. In four combined seasons with the Jazz, Oklahoma City Thunder and Wizards, Butler has career averages of 5.6 points and 2.3 assists in 11.4 minutes over 120 games with two starts. -via x.com / February 6, 2025
