Simmons has reportedly told the Sixers he will not be showing up to training camp
Ben Simmons has demanded a trade from the Philadelphia 76ers, per Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer, who reported on Tuesday that Simmons has told Sixers brass that he no longer wants to be with the team and doesn't intend to report for training camp. The writing has been on the wall that Simmons and the Sixers weren't long for each other since Philly was eliminated in the second round by the Atlanta Hawks. Simmons was the main scapegoat for that loss. Doc Rivers was noncommittal when asked whether he believed the Sixers could win a championship with Simmons at point guard. Simmons clearly didn't appreciate that. Nor did he appreciate hearing his name in James Harden trade rumors before Harden was ultimately dealt to the Brooklyn Nets, or the many less-than-subtle shots Joel Embiid has taken at him. Simmons, it appears, believes he's above trade rumors and criticism. He thinks he's a superstar. He's wrong.More Related News
