CONFIRMED: Ben Simmons Finished in Philadelphia!
Well after a summer full of back and forth reports, it's been confirmed by a Woj Bomb, Ben Simmons will not be playing another basketball game for the Philadelphia 76ers.
Simmons is clearly aware of sanctions available to organization to fine and suspend him, including withholding of salary. But so far, Simmons appears willing to carry out a plan of forcing his way to a new team. Sixers have yet to find a a trade they’re willing to make for him. https://t.co/vxSrBUWjXw

The 25-year-old Simmons has been dealing with unbelievable media scrutiny and while there doesn't appear to be a riff between him and Joel Embiid, the media is certainly trying to create one. Regardless, Simmons has decided it's time to move on and a trade will be next as the relationship with the team cannot be fixed.
Teams expected to make serious offers include the Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, and Houston Rockets.
Ben Simmons: “I’m never coming back.”
