Ben Simmons ‘respects diehard fans’ in Philly, but is ‘looking forward to getting a win’ in return
Ben Simmons is playing his first game in Philadelphia since he was traded last February for James Harden. He was booed in the city last March when he played for the Nets. On Sunday he scored 22 points on 11-of-13 shooting with 8 rebounds and 5 assists in Brooklyn's 127-115 win over Memphis. The Nets have won two straight and 6- of-9. Sixers are without injured guards Harden and Tyrese Maxey. Simmons has scored 10+ points in three straight games. Joel Embiid and Kyrie Irving will play against him.
