Ben Simmons will be on the bench, boos raining down from all corners of his old home.
Harden has been terrific so far with the 76ers. Simmons still isn't playing, bothered by a sore back when he tried to build up his conditioning. But he plans to be with his teammates on the bench in Philadelphia, where some of the toughest fans in sports can let loose on the player the Sixers took with the No. 1 pick in the 2016 draft.
"Ben did a lot of good things here," Rivers said."It didn't end well, right, just like marriages and all kinds of other things don't end well, right? But Ben did a lot of good things here.
The atmosphere could be reminiscent of the angry crowds that welcomed James back to Cleveland after his first departure for Miami, or Durant back to Oklahoma City after he left for Golden State in 2016.
