Ben Simmons Suggests He Was Racially Profiled at Australian Casino

76ers star Ben Simmons suggested that he was racially profiled when he was denied entry into a casino in his native Australia.

In a now-deleted Instagram story, Simmons claims that he and all of his friends, except one who appeared to be white, were denied entry into the Crown Casino in Melbourne on Monday.

"I find it so crazy that the only guy who doesn’t get checked to go into the casino is this guy," the 23-year-old Simmons said while pointing to his friend.

"I get checked. Mike gets checked. And Taj gets checked," Simmons said.
