On February 9, Beijing time, Philadelphia played against the Suns, and in the end, Philadelphia lost to the Suns 109-114. The Philadelphia City owners cut Embiid with 34 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 3 steals. After the game, Embiid also gave an interview to the media, saying that the team's current squad is enough to complete a wave of shock, and he also talked about Simmons' problems.
Embiid said of Simmons' current situation: "The door is open, but he has to want to be here, welcome everyone to play, if you want to be a part of us, I'm sure everyone is okay, but you have to be there and want to be here." "Since the end of last season, Simmons has never played a single game for the team, and the contradictions between him and the team management are difficult to resolve and cannot be reconciled.
The NBA's deal deadline is approaching, and rumors about Simmons' deal have begun to sweep the league again, but Philadelphia has yet to get a satisfactory offer chip. Previously, there were many teams in the trading market to inquire about Simmons, but the philadelphia side asked for too high a price, which made many teams prohibitive. So far this season, Simmons has not played for the team, and his status cannot be affirmed, so the value of his transaction is still worth evaluating.
Philadelphia is fifth in the East with a record of 32 wins and 22 losses this season, although Philadelphia has not reached the heights of last season, but the skinny camel is bigger than The Horse, Philadelphia's team lineup is still strong, and Philadelphia has brought in Drummond and others in the offseason. For the team, Simmons is not only the commander of the offensive end of the team, he is also the absolute core of the team's defensive end. Rivers said at the beginning of the season that there are many players in the team who can replace Simmons, but for now the effect is average.
The team is still watching Simmons trade, and it can be seen that the team does not really want to trade him to other teams, and if Simmons is willing to return to the team, Philadelphia's record may be mentioned again.
