According to a report from Shams Charania, there are seven teams around the NBA who are involved with talks in a trade for Ben Simmons

Ben Simmons and his baggage is back in Philly.

Simmons showed up to the team’s practice on Sunday for the first time this season.

Video footage from Simmons’ second practice with the team on Monday has been released, and it’s pretty easy to assume something isn’t right with Ben. It’s almost like Simmons was completely checked out the entire time.
