Ben Simmons has maintained that he will not play for the 76ers this season, and some reports are indicating that he’s still willing to sit out the entire year if he isn’t traded.

But nonetheless, Shams Charania is reporting that the 76ers are remaining patient, willing to play the “waiting game” with Simmons.

Ben Simmons has not spoken publicly about his situation.

But everyday, we’re hearing more and more from Doc Rivers, Joel Embiid, etc. about the hiatus from the guard. The general consensus from the 76ers’ contingent is that they’re hoping to get Simmons back.

Now, it just comes down to whether or not Ben Simmons is really willing to leave a whole bunch of money on the table by sitting out.
