Ben Simmons & Joel Embiid
Joel Embiid will not be playing for the Sixers tonight, which could be good for Simmons. As everyone knows, Simmons and Embiid did not end their friendship on good terms. Additionally, Embiid seems to hate Simmons. Regardless, Simmons is taking a diplomatic approach when asked about it.
“We had a lot of highlights, and we had a lot of great times,” Simmons said of Embiid. “I got a lot of love for Joel too. Obviously, it didn’t work out, but that’s life and not everything works out in your favor. So I wish him the best, obviously not a championship against us, but the best."
Tonight, Simmons will look to continue his solid run of games. If he has a bad night, then one can chalk it up to the fans making him nervous. Regardless, this is something that Ben Simmons will have to overcome if he wants to gain back the trust of his fans. Overall, it should be very interesting.
