Yesterday, the rumor about Ben Simmons leaving the group text was sparks when NBA insider Ric Bucher stopped by “The Herd” with Colin Cowherd.

Not only did Bucher drop that story, but he also claimed that the entire thing rubbed Kevin Durant the wrong way.

“They asked him, ‘Are you going to play?’ Ben left the chat,” Bucher said. “Like, he didn’t even answer the question, just left the chat. And KD [Nets teammate Kevin Durant] is like, this is what I signed up for…this is who I’m playing with?”
