The Philadelphia 76ers have gone months facing a situation where NBA All-Star Ben Simmons wants to be traded and hasn’t been a regular part of the team. Is there an end to this situation insight?

Simmons made a few attempts to return to the team but was kicked out of some practices and has been fined often. There was once thought he could make a return to the lineup but that sentiment waned over time. Now, he is citing mental health concerns as a reason for remaining sidelined.

We are not in a place to question the validity of mental health concerns. However, the situation has reached a holding pattern overall. The 76ers want Simmons back to restore some trade value while Simmons claims he isn’t ready to do so.

Simmons is in the first year of a four-year deal — making him an intriguing option for a rebuilding franchise that wants to add another star. Could this be of interest to the Rockets?
