will not report for the opening of training camp next week and intends to never play another game for the franchise, sources told ESPN.
This is setting up a showdown for a Sixers franchise with championship hopes that will be greatly diminished without Simmons on the floor -- balancing the likely short-term losses with him sidelined against the long-term goals of getting a maximum trade return for Simmons. Simmons has four years and $147 million left on his max contract -- including $33 million for 2021-22 -- and clearly understands the potential financial implications of sitting out. The Sixers could test Simmons' willingness to stay away by fining him considerable salary.
