On Friday afternoon, ESPN Insider Ramona Shelburne shed some light on the ongoing situation between the 76ers and their former first overall pick Ben Simmons.
It’s been a long offseason. Ever since the Sixers blew a pair of monster leads in Game 4 and again in Game 5, breathing life into an upstart Hawks team that should have been left for dead, things seemed to spiral.
Simmons had a handful of chances to put the Hawks away at the free throw line in Game 5 at the crib. Simmons went 4 of 14 during that game, while the team blew a 26-point lead.
