Ben Simmons: ‘It’s going to be scary’ playing with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn

Ben Simmons, alongside Steve Nash, and Sean Marks, was formally introduced by the team at the HSS Training Facility Tuesday morning, speaking to reporters for the first time since the trade deadline blockbuster deal — breaking his six-month silence, and the Sixers Game 7 defeat in the 2021 NBA playoffs last June.

“It’s a blessing to be in an organization like this,” Ben Simmons said Tuesday morning. “I’m looking forward to getting back on the floor and building something great here.”

Simmons didn’t put a timetable on when he’d return, being careful to be vague but also optimistic.
