[Fischer]: There were “overtures” between Ben Simmons and the Philadelphia 76ers after he was bought out by the Brooklyn Nets. The Sixers had interest in Simmons then and Joel Embiid and Simmons “repaired any fracturing” between them.

Sixers fans would boo him if he played for them again
They’d be a great duo this season

Haven’t Sixers fans suffered enough
PG, Embiid, and Simmons have the combined knee of a 74 year old
Funniest possible outcome
Simmons back on Philly is certainly a choice
Yesss in *JackNicholson*
Embiid and PG probably lobbying for Simmons to be brought back so the fans will blame Simmons for the losses instead of Embiid/PG’s knees.
We must ask, why is this info coming out now?
Ben? Philly ? return a possibility?
This reminds me of when the Yankees brought back Javier Vazquez for a 2nd stint after he had success after leaving due to a disastrous 1st stint
It….did not go well…..
With his back, Embiids knees and whatever the fuck PG has injured coming into the season, they combine to make a truely broken man,
RUN IT BACK! RUN IT BACK! RUN IT BACK!
Bring him home.
If the 76ers sign Simmons it is a guarantee that there will be fracturing again this season.
Just not sure yet what would fracture. Embiid’s hip, Embiid’s kneecap, Simmons’ back, Simmons’ psyche, PG’s shoulder…
I have unearned and unexplained empathy for Ben Simmons, so I think there’s something positive about him returning to Philly for redemption. Hope it works out for them.
Has getting back with an ex ever worked out for anybody?
If the bb gods pull this off, this might be the funniest thing to happen in the off-season. Bonus if Simmons outplays Embiid and PG during the season since both players deal with a ton of injuries. Sixers fans would be forced to root for him lmao.
Wild to think Simmons and Embiid might actually patch things up after all that history.
Does anyone truly care about this in 2025? I used to think that the F1 sub in the offseason was about the most unreadable around, but /r/NBA is just 99% worthless drama baiting, useless stat massaging, and pretending that pre-season is real NBA basketball that means anything at all. It’s a completely ridiculous waste of time.
Let the dude fade into obscurity with his $200m and move on with your lives.
Do it for the lulz.
Wouldn’t it be some surreal shit if he went back to Philly and balled out? Lol
I honestly don’t believe that. Sounds like a fake leak from an agent to pretend there’s interest before his guy signs in the Kazakh C League
How the fuck can Ben Simmons still get contracts? His agent gotta be one of the best to still give teams hope that they can fix his lazy ass.
Please, I’ve had to suffer so much this year. PLEASE, give me this one thing. I need Ben Simmons back on the Sixers like I need oxygen.
