Former Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons is still unsigned this summer. Most teams have lost their belief in the 6-foot-9 point guard, whose career has gone downhill after leaving the 76ers. Simmons was a three-time All-Star and even an MVP candidate at one point. However, many believe that he lost his confidence during the 2021 playoff against the Atlanta Hawks.
Now, the former star guard is considering retirement from the game. Even his agent, Bernie Lee, has parted ways with him. On Friday, ESPN’s Brian Windhorst gave a discouraging update on Simmons’ value in the market. Windhorst said that there isn’t much interest from teams to sign the often-injured star. The insider went on to describe it as “lukewarm.”
“At the end of the day, Ben Simmons’ stock has been falling dramatically for years and the fact that we’re in September, he doesn’t have a full-time, guaranteed job, I think speaks to that,” Windhorst said.
