When will the standoff between the Philadelphia 76ers and NBA All-Star Ben Simmons come to an end? Your guess is as good as anyone’s, as no one has a clear timeline for when things could start moving toward a resolution.
Simmons remains away from the team as he works on his mental and physical well-being. A back injury was reported, which he was working with the team on improving. However, he also told the team that he was not mentally ready to return to the court, but will not accept their help in the process.
As a result, the 76ers have been fining Simmons. After stopping the fines for a short period, they have been doing it consistently for weeks. He has surpassed $10 million in fines for every game that he missed.
Given how long this has gone on, it is hard to imagine Simmons changing his stance now. He is likely in this for the long haul, just as Philadelphia has made it clear that they are. With both sides dug in, a trade is likely the only outcome that will resolve this.
