A spirited 76ers team playing without Joel Embiid and James Harden spoiled Ben Simmons’ return to Philadelphia with a 115-106 win
, Simmons played with poise as boos rained on him for the bulk of his 32 minutes on court.
Sixers fans were boisterous rather than venomous, although there were a couple of short-lived “Fuck Ben Simmons!” chants. But they mostly saved the four-letter words for tape on the back of their old No 25 jerseys. Simmons and second-year Sixer Georges Niang tussled late in the first half and Niang gave his former teammate a light stiff-arm to the body that earned a technical foul. Harden couldn’t believe the call from the bench. Sixers owner Josh Harris looked appalled. Simmons missed the technical free throw and the crowd roared as much as it did all game. Simmons, though, hit the court for a steal and knocked the loose ball to Durant for a bucket.
