The Sixers-Nets matchup set for Thursday night didn’t need anymore juice.
But we’ve got some anyway.
Ben Simmons’ representation will soon file a grievance against the Sixers in attempt to recoup the over $20 million the three-time All-Star lost during his holdout, according to Kyle Neubeck of the Philly Voice. Neubeck also indicated that there’s talk in league circles that Rich Paul and Klutch Sports will use the reaction to Simmons on Thursday as part of their argument.
From Neubeck:
“Put Simmons in the middle of that storm, the argument goes, and it’s believed that will be Exhibit A in the case of why Simmons could not and did not fulfill his obligations for the Sixers prior to being traded, why he was unprepared to work for this franchise prior to being dealt.
