Butler says he’d be up for playing for Flamengo in Brazil’s premier basketball league (Novo Basquete Brasil) when his days with the Miami Heat are over, per Rohan Nadkarni of GQ:
“I mean, yeah. In the NBA? For sure. But then after that, I really do want to play for Flamengo. I tell everybody, I’m half-Brazilian” stated Jimmy Butler.
The 34-year-old Butler has one more year left on his contract with the Heat. He can then pick up a 2025-26 player option for $52.4 million or choose to become a free agent.
