Brett Brown dismisses clash with Jimmy Butler as ‘non-story’

Jimmy Butler

Philadelphia 76ers head coach Brett Brown isn’t making much of recent chatter about Jimmy Butler calling him out over the team’s offense.

In light of a report that painted Butler as aggressive and somewhat disrespectful of Brown when criticizing him in meetings, Brown said Saturday that he considered it a “non-story” and an unfair depiction of what actually happened.

Brown even went as far as to admit that Butler had a point and wanted more pick and rolls, and it was up to the coach to determine how to make that happen without diminishing the impact of Joel Embiid.

Brown may just be trying to smooth things over publicly, but he doesn’t sound too terribly bothered about whatever happened with Butler. We’ll see if this proves to be a bump in the road or the beginning of some internal strife. For now, the former seems more likely.
