Philadelphia 76ers fans think they are living another nightmare in the playoffs with a new Ben Simmons. That’s James Harden, who has had two disappointing games in a row for the team. And largely because of that, the 76ers now find themselves down 2-1 in the series against the Boston Celtics. Harden has only averaged 14 points in the last two games and only successfully made five field goals. In the regular season, Harden averaged 21 points per game. In particular, fans are letting the 33-year-old have it after he passed up a floater in the third quarter of game three. Harden is now being comp...

It wasn’t unexpected. In his first game in the Wells Fargo Center since the 2020-21 season, Ben Simmons was vigorously booed by 76ers fans at every stage of the team’s game against the Brooklyn Nets Tuesday. “I thought it was going to be louder,” Simmons said after the game. Between his disappointing performance in the 2021 Playoffs and refusing to compete with the team the following season, Simmons became a villainous figure in Philadelphia long before the Sixers traded him to Brooklyn in February. Once a part of “The Process,” the team’s plan for returning to championship contender status, h...

Ben Simmons inept shooting ability has become a radioactive topic of conversation around the NBA in recent years, but Brooklyn Nets Coach Steve Nash doesn’t seem fazed. In fact, his recent praise of Simmons is a significant departure from typical discourse about the oft-maligned player. In an interview with ESPN, Nash said that his team stood to benefit from Simmons’ play, with or without a jump shot. With Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant on the floor, Simmons’ defensive ability and paint presence seem to be enough for Nash. “That’s why I don’t care if he ever shoots a jump shot for the Brooklyn ...

Relatively new Brooklyn Nets acquisition Ben Simmons is close to making his season debut, as he was recently cleared for contact in practice and even participated in four-on-four drills Monday. The guard was ruled out for Wednesday’s Game 2 against Boston, but Game 3 hasn’t been ixnayed. Rumor has it he’s aiming for a Game 4 return. Simmons has been on the mend recently from his back injury—ramping up his workload over the past few weeks. “It’s up to Ben’s back,” Nets coach Steve Nash said. “It’s not up to me or any of us other than his back. And how we can help that resolve, great. But, you k...

There’s still no set timetable when it comes to Ben Simmons’ return to action for the Brooklyn Nets. Simmons, who recently had his request for a trade from the 76ers fulfilled, has yet to play a game this season. He was dealing with mental health issues in Philadelphia, then, following the deal, he’s endured back issues. Nets coach Steve Nash spoke to reporters Sunday and said that the player is not currently doing any basketball activities. However, he “fully expects” Simmons to see time this season. “The physical therapist just works on his rehabilitation,” Nash said. “I wasn’t on [the table...

He spent so much time trying to get away, but Thursday night Ben Simmons found himself back in Philadelphia—and he left with a win, again. Simmons took all the (many) boos—as well as the myriad “F— Ben Simmons!!” chants—that came his way during his first return to Philly since requesting a trade this summer, and the fans were once again steamed as the Nets registered a dominant 129-100 win over the 76ers. “It was a good environment to start,” the Nets’ Kevin Durant said. “It didn’t finish that way.” The seeds of Simmons’ exit were planted after a disappointing playoff loss to the Atlanta Hawks...

After three straight stellar performances in a 76ers uniform—including one Wednesday finally, in the City of Brotherly Love—James Harden has declared Philadelphia home. “Just exciting,” Harden—who finished with 26 points, nine rebounds, and nine assists in Philly’s 123-108 victory over the Knicks—said. “The love, the fans, it feels like home. Just the love, the support, man, from looking around, hearing, ‘We love you, James.’ “That right there makes me go out and play harder, and I just wanted to do whatever it takes to get the win.” Philadelphia now sits two games back of the Miami Heat for t...

Hopes for a Ben Simmons-76ers split as the February 10 trade deadline approaches are getting slimmer as the days go by. The market dictates that Simmons is not worth what the unwavering team wants in return. The person hoping it ends the most is Simmons’ financial advisor, as the All-Star has already forfeited more than $19 million in fines this season and could be out upwards of $32 million if he remains out. Via ESPN: “Simmons has lost over $19 million in fines since the season began (each missed game costs him $360,000). He hasn’t cleared a paycheck since the $8.25 million (25% of his $33 m...

With the NBA trade deadline approaching, Ben Simmons’ agent met with Philadelphia 76ers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey and GM Elton Brand on Wednesday, but, the sides could not come to a resolution over the All-Star guard’s immediate future. Simmons, 25, is no closer to honoring the team’s hopes for a return to the court this season, while the team’s asking price has been said to be too high to net a potential trade partner. His agent, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul, described the meeting as amicable but told the Sixers that Simmons’ mental health continues to prohibit his return ...

Can Los Angeles handle yet another star? The Lakers are reportedly considering making a move to bring the Philadelphia 76ers‘ Ben Simmons to LA. Simmons is a three-time All-Star point guard and he was the NBA’s defensive player of the year runner-up last season.

He is currently sitting out in hopes of forcing a trade. He has made it clear that he wants out of Philadelphia. The 76ers are currently sitting at 15-12. ...
