Philadelphia 76ers point-forward Ben Simmons had a rough playoffs, especially in their second round loss to the Atlanta Hawks when he averaged just 9.9 points per game, only shot 33% from the line, and only attempted six shots per game: well below his season average. In fact, his overall FT percentage of 34.2% was the worst in NBA Playoff history with a minimum of 70 attempts.
He was especially dreadful in Game 7 on Sunday as he completely disappeared on offense and afterwards was thrown under the bus — fairly or not — by both Doc Rivers and his fellow All Star Joel Embiid.
