Simmons had a disastrous playoff campaign last season. The Sixers crashed out of the Eastern Conference playoffs after losing against Atlanta Hawks. The Sixers staff and players criticized Simmons after his dismal outing against the Hawks. Due to this, Simmons decided not to play again for the Sixers despite having four more years on his contract.
Simmons’ camp has always maintained their position that the player has no plans to stay with the Sixers. However, now the reports suggest that Simmons is closer to returning. The above reactions are just on social media. We can’t imagine what’s it’s going to be like at the Wells Fargo Center. If in case Ben stays this season, he’s should think about coming not too close to the fans during the home games.
