After holding out for training camp and the start of preseason, Ben Simmons decided to startle the Sixers with a surprise return to Wells Fargo Center on Monday. He’s now received his first COVID-19 test to follow NBA health and safety protocols, completed his physical on Tuesday, and will start working out in isolation with coaches on Wednesday.
The next question is will he actually play in games? Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer has confirmed in a new report that whether or not Simmons will play is still undetermined, although the Sixers (unsurprisingly) aren’t changing their stance that they want Simmons to play.
