Ben Simmons, now of the Brooklyn Nets, has reportedly filed a grievance against his former team, the Philadelphia 76ers, to recoup $20 million in salary the Sixers withheld from him during his long standoff with the team.
According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, Ramona Shelburne and Bobby Marks, Simmons filed the grievance late last week.
The Sixers had been withholding Simmons' salary since before the current season started. He'd been fined for not showing up to training camp and missing a preseason game, but the team stopped withholding his salary when Simmons reportedly told them he didn't feel "mentally ready" to play for the team he'd vowed to never play for again.
