The same way a professional goes to practices, practices in their off times, meetings, charity events, etc.... DISCIPLINE

This is why the system is screwed up. He's not a "professional" he's an amateur. You're telling me an 18 year old kid who is a few months away from signing a 100+ million dollar shoe deal, needs to go to every class there is? It's not like he never went by the way.

Also, do you really think a player like Ben Simmons can get any learning done in a public classroom with students breathing down his neck asking for autographs? Really? Players like him can't go out in public without being swarmed 24/7, use some logic.
