The saga continues surrounding the trade rumors of 76ers star Ben Simmons.
Philadelphia players wanted to travel to Los Angeles to meet with Simmons in hopes of getting the All-Star to remain with the team. However, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania, Simmons chose not to meet with his teammates and they did not make the trip to the West Coast.
Among the players that were slated to make the trip to Los Angeles were Joel Embiid, Tobias Harris and Matisse Thybulle, per The Athletic. Simmons told them and other players not to come and he would not change his mind about wanting to be traded away from the team.
