Jonathon Simmons played in The Basketball Tournament over the weekend

It’s been an eventful year for former Sixers wing Jonathon Simmons. Back in February, he was the player portion of the return trade package in the deal sending Markelle Fultz to Orlando, unrealistically earning him the label in some fans’ eyes of ‘what the Sixers had left to show for the first overall pick’. Simmons was unable to carve out a role in Philadelphia, losing to James Ennis what Brett Brown dubbed the quiet tournament for playing time between those two and Furkan Korkmaz. Simmons would appear in only 15 regular season games for the Sixers and total 52 minutes of mostly mop-up duty during the playoffs.
