According to Jake Fischer, a reunion between Philadelphia and Ben Simmons was explored by the 76ers.
Before the former Rookie of the Year winner signed with the Los Angeles Clippers, the Houston Rockets and Cleveland Cavaliers expressed interest in him. Even Philly had slightly expressed interest in him.
The last time Simmons was in a Sixers’ jersey was back in 2022, before he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets for James Harden. Neither players remain on Philly.
In this season for Brooklyn, the 28-year-old averaged 6.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.9 assists. In his debut game for the Clippers, he put up 12.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 3.0 steals, and a block.
