Philadelphia 76ers All-Star small forward Jimmy Butler says he doesn't plan on playing in the NBA when he turns 35-years-old in 2024.

Jimmy Butler will become an unrestricted free agent after this season ends if he declines his 2019-20 player option with the Sixers. He's eligible to sign a five-year, $190 million max contract with Philly if he opts out of his deal.

“I don’t plan on playing this game when I’m 35 years old,” Butler said, via Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer. “So I’m not even worried about that. I’ll be done with this game before I’m 35.

“That’s between me and whatever I tell myself later on. But, I’m telling you right now, 35, I’m trying to be done before then.”

Entering Tuesday, Jimmy Butler has played in 20 games with the Sixers. The 29-year-old is averaging 18.1 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists with Philly and shooting 46.6 percent from the field, 39.1 percent from beyond the arc and 88.5 percent from the free-throw line.

If Butler signs a five-year max deal in the summer of 2019 with Philly, the swingman could end his playing career as a Sixer at the age of 34.

By now, everyone knows Butler's story. He was kicked out of his house by his mom as a kid at the age of 13. The four-time NBA All-Star stayed with a friend for a couple of years and went to junior college before he played his college basketball at Marquette.

Butler was then drafted by the Bulls in 2011. He didn't play much until the 2012 season because of Derrick Rose's injury. With the Bulls, Butler turned himself into one of the best two-way players in the league and he earned a five-year, $92.3 million deal from the Bulls.

Butler played one season with the Minnesota Timberwolves after the Bulls traded him there, and now he's with the Sixers after requesting a trade from Minnesota.
