Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons is holding fast to his trade request from the franchise that drafted him and still plans not to attend training camp next week, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski confirmed on Tuesday.
The Philadelphia Inquirer's Keith Pompey first reported late last month that Simmons and his representation requested a trade in a meeting with the 76ers' brass, making clear his intention not to attend training camp.
According to Wojnarowski, the two sides have not spoken since that meeting.
Simmons can be fined $227,613 each day he does not participate in camp.
