Sixers coach Doc Rivers threw Ben Simmons out of practice today and the suspension came shortly thereafter, sources tell ESPN.

Simmons’ reluctance to physically and mentally engage with the Sixers since his return has been a consistent theme, sources tell ESPN.

Simmons was tossed early in practice, essentially for a refusal to participate in the next stage of the session, sources tell ESPN.


well this is going well

Joel Embiid says his job “is not to babysit.” He says he is here to focus on the guys that want to be here and part of this team.

Quitters will continue to be quitters. We all want the physical specimen and the elite athlete, but a lot of them are pampered now and soft as baby shite. I’d rather take a hard nosed player with subprime physical traits but will work his arse off and give 100% than the physical specimen that whines and moans and sits around fat and lazy

Anthony Davis only had a good season last year bc Lebron was gonna ruin his career like Bosh and K Love if he didn’t bust his arse

Not defending Simmons' behavior, but why would he keep going to school?

Planned move by him and Rich Paul. Report back so he can get his money then act like a dumbass so he doesn't have to play and they're more motivated to move him.

Ben Simmons is such a bitch. This should surprise no one who followed him during his time at LSU

He will never be the guy to lead a team to a title

Simmons has to be a real moron to once again listen to the guy who didn't understand the contract he negotiated.

But then he doesn't get his money if he gets suspended

If he keeps acting like an a-hole, they'll just keep suspending him, look how quickly they did it. You don't think they were ready for this?

For this one game.

His plan is likely for them to send him away until they work out a trade.
