The 76ers have suspended All-Star guard Ben Simmons for one game for conduct detrimental to the team, the franchise announced Tuesday.
Simmons will miss the team's season-opener against the Pelicans as a result of the suspension.
According to The Philly Voice's Kyle Neubeck, the suspension stems from an event that happened at 76ers practice on Tuesday. According to Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix, coach Doc Rivers threw Simmons out of practice, leading to the eventual suspension. ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski first reported news of Rivers removing Simmons from practice.
