Sixers suspend Ben Simmons for 1 game, will miss season opener vs. Pelicans

Ben Simmons was supposed to talk to the media on Tuesday for the first time since ending his holdout, but that was cancelled due to some unexpected drama at practice.

The Philadelphia 76ers suspended Simmons for one game due to "conduct detrimental to the team." He will not play in the Sixers' first game of the season against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night.

The Sixers didn't release any details about what happened, but the incident reportedly took place at the practice right before Simmons was supposed to talk to the media.
