Ben Simmons’ $17.5 Million Los Angeles Home in Pictures

The experienced Philadelphia 76ers campaigner Ben Simmons is on his way out. After four seasons with the franchise, the player has lost patience with the team. Being seemingly disregarded by the fans and management, Simmons has decided that if not traded, he is willing to sit out the 2021-22 season. But in the midst of the confusion and chaos, there is some good news for the youngster.

What caused Simmons’ strained relations with the 76ers?

Ben Simmons and ‘Philly’ have almost certainly ended ties. The duo are most definitely at a crossroads, and the player wishes not to return to a place he once called home. While many within the team management insist that Simmons has a future with them, the latter is adamant on finding a new franchise for himself.

After being left despondent from a season of lows, Simmons was reportedly unhappy with the way he was treated at Philadelphia. This has seen him find the exit doors in the off-season.

In his four seasons with the team, Simmons averaged almost 16 points and over 8 rebounds per game. However, the season gone by was not the best of his campaigns, as he amassed only 14.3 points. In addition, his defensive contributions weren’t the best either. This meant that for long spells, the 25-year-old found himself warming the bench. Thus, he decided that he will not return to the 76ers training, and wants to split ways.
