Ben Simmons reportedly turned away teammates who wanted to meet about 76ers rift

With just days left before training camp opens, Ben Simmons made it clear he's done with the Philadelphia 76ers. Simmons reportedly told teammates he did not want to meet with them over his feud with the organization, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Core players on the 76ers — including center Joel Embiid — were reportedly planning to fly from Philadelphia to Los Angeles to convince Simmons to return. Simmons allegedly told them not to come, as it would not change his mind.

Simmons reportedly did this out of courtesy to his teammates, according to Charania.
