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.

According to the Philadelphia 76ers, Paul George will be considered “day-to-day) due to an injury to the extensor tendon in his left fifth finger. An MRI uncovered the injury.

His evaluation period will be through the next couple of days to determine whether he can return or needs more time.

The 34-year-old suffered the injury during Saturday’s game after playing 13 minutes; he sat out the second quarter before medical staff determined him to be out for the remainder of the game.

According to the Philadelphia 76ers, Jared McCain will be shut down for the remainder of the season after further reevaluation by the surgeon who did the operation.

Rookie McCain suffered a torn meniscus and had the procedure on December 17th, as Philly said the recovery was going well. However, they will be indeed resting him until next season.
