76ers: Ben Simmons says he’s not mentally ready to play
Simmons will not play in tonight’s game against the Brooklyn Nets
According to Shams Charania, 76ers star Ben Simmons spoke with Doc Rivers and his teammate-Joel Embiid included– during the shootaround ahead of tonight’s game against the Brooklyn Nets.
The 3-time All Star would like to return to play but asked for time because now he doesn’t feel mentally prepared.
Simmons was suspended for the regular-season opener, and he will definitely not play in tonight’s game.
