Harden, Simmons speak for first time since trade
James Harden and Ben Simmons addressed the media in their new cities yesterday for the first times since the trade that rocked the NBA.
The last time Simmons spoke publicly was after the Sixers’ playoff loss to the Hawks in June. That series was also the last time he took the court, having sat out this season due to mental health concerns.
