A new report claims Ben Simmons is not a 'sympathetic figure' within the Nets locker room after being swept by Boston. 9WWOS
It's understood Simmons is still suffering trauma from the end of his time with Philadelphia which was sparked by a fourth quarter capitulation against the Hawks in the playoffs last season.The Aussie is said to be committed to playing with the Nets but the report states the All-Star guard's future is clouded within the Nets' locker room because of his behaviour this season.
"That is completely unfair," Foxx said of Smith's commentary. "Ben Simmons has a family. This man has people that love him and this man just plays basketball but to be dragged through the mud like this is unfair… Smith, who said he's close friends with Foxx, responded: "Jamie Foxx knows better. He's just highly protective of the black athlete, as he should be, because they deserve our protection in a lot of situations."Jamie Foxx knows good and damn well it ain't got nothing to do with brotherhood for me. I protect brothers all the damn time, trust you me, it's what I don't say that proves my protection.
