Ben Simmons replicates mistake that drove him out of Philadelphia
To be brutally honest, Simmons has anyways been the worst version of himself throughout this campaign. Prior to tonight’s clash, the Aussie averaged a shocking 3.5 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists in the past 4 games.
Tonight, having seen merely 12:41 minutes, the 6-foot-10 guard had a horrific stat line – 2 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists.
At one point in the clash, Simmons even replicated the iconic blunder he made during the 2021 Playoffs when representing the Philadelphia 76ers.
During the dying minutes of the first quarter, the former Rookie of the Year drove to the basket and was wide-open. As you may have rightly predicted, instead of tossing up the shot, Ben passed it away.
Here, have a look at the play.
