Ben Simmons practiced with the Philadelphia 76ers for the first time this season on Sunday, though no decision was made on his status for the season opener.
for the first time this season on Sunday, though no decision was made on his status for the season opener.Simmons was a holdout for training camp and the early part of the preseason in the wake of his offseason trade demand. The three-time All-Star guard made a surprise return to the team on Monday. Once he cleared the NBA health and safety protocols, Simmons was eligible to practice.
The Sixers open the season Wednesday at New Orleans and play their home opener Friday against Brooklyn."Just watching him, I thought he was in decent shape," Rivers said."Still not, obviously, game shape." Simmons, the No. 1 pick of the 2016 draft, was not on the court when practice was open to the media on Sunday, and the Sixers said the guard was expected to talk at some point this week.When submitting content, please abide by our
