He scared to play, period.. he dont want to step on court unless kyrie AND KD play… he does not want to be put in a situation where he has to shoot the ball.. let that sink in…

Ben not scared to play. He is out of shape. He had not been training the past phew months. Dudes a joke, goes to show how professional he is.

This really doesn’t make since the report said he tweeked his back ramping up his conditioning…
If he just wanted to skip the Philly game he would just do that ????????♂️

Mental health my behind. There were no mental health issues signing that contract , no mental health issues cashing 30 million dollar checks , no mental health issues when deciding to buy luxury cars , etc etc. Mental health excuse is being stretched and broadcasters walk on egg shells when you mention mental health because they have their own groupies that will cancel you out in a heartbeat if you go against their narrative. Ben simmons is …..so jacking things up for other players in the league because when that next CBA come around you better believe new rules will be applied not in favor of players…like GUARENTEED CONTRACTS. So you can thank Ben simmons for that.

Leave the guy alone. Let him take his time to be mentally ready. The media just wants to more to talk about. It’s important for Ben to be ready completely and playing in Philadelphia won’t help in my opinion. Ben first needs to play in a peaceful environment even at games that are away from home

If Brooklyn can put up with kyrie Irving issues they can put up with Simmons as well
