Ben Simmons returned to Philadelphia Thursday for the first time since his long contentious relationship with the Sixers culminated in a blockbuster trade to the Nets for James Harden.
Simmons, formerly selected first overall by the Sixers in 2016, was at one point recognized as the co-face of ‘The Process’ with superstar center Joel Embiid. Simmons was the NBA Rookie of the Year in 2018, a triple-doubles machine and defensive standout. He was an All-Star in three of his four seasons in Philadelphia.
As it turns out, that was the last time Simmons would suit up for the Sixers. The months that followed were marred with off-court drama that resulted in Simmons refusing to play citing unspecified mental health challenges and subsequent fines from the team.
