After the 76ers' home game with the Nets, even if Ben Simmons can't play in this game, the feud between the 76ers and Simmons seems to have "come to an end", at least joel Embiid, the team's superstar, has this idea:
"I mean, even before this game, I was tired of all this drama, I just want to play basketball well and try to win the game now."
Embiid's frustration with Simmons is no secret, because Embiid tried to persuade the teammate to stay before Simmons left, but in the end the 76ers still pushed the Nets for a trade involving Simmons and replaced Harden, of course, this also makes the current 76ers have better competitiveness.
Of course, even though Embiid doesn't want to talk about Ben Simmons anymore, former 76ers player Robert Covington did express his support for Ben Simmons, and wasn't even surprised by the hostility shown by the 76ers fans:
"Now you understand why he left."
The rift between Ben Simmons and the team is largely due to the fact that he didn't perform well enough in last season's playoff series against the Hawks, which made him a "pot man" in the eyes of 76ers fans, and even the 76ers and teammates did not give Ben Simmons enough support.
From Covington's account, Philadelphia's fan base is too hostile to the players, and that's one of the reasons Why Ben Simmons left.
