After weeks with no real movement on the Ben Simmons situation, Monday’s flurry of news may have been the most progress we’ve seen since a trade was originally requested.
Earlier in the afternoon, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Simmons and his agent Rich Paul were working with the Sixers to get the three-time All-Star back to Philadelphia.
Apparently that resolution was reached before the Sixers and Nets tipped for a preseason game at the Wells Fargo Center Monday night.
Sixers are hopeful to start moving toward the next steps of a return with Simmons, per sources.
