Toronto Raptors fans continue their savagery as they roast the Philadelphia 76ers about Ben Simmons’s missing status

 

We are now in NBA preseason, and Ben Simmons has still not reported to the Philadelphia

Raptors fans aren’t strangers to being arguably the most savage in the NBA. In fact, it’s a part of their routine at this point.
