Ben Simmons Says He’d Play for 76ers for Free in Instagram Comment

The unsigned former All-Star says his priority is getting fully healthy before any NBA return.

Overview

  • Simmons responded to a fan on Instagram that “it ain’t about the $, I’d hoop there for free” when asked about a Philadelphia reunion.
  • He added that he is focused on getting his body to 100% after years of injuries before risking his health again.
  • He remains a free agent after finishing last season with the Clippers following a Nets buyout, appearing in 18 games in a limited role.
  • Bleacher Report, citing Marc Stein, reported that Simmons previously rejected a Knicks offer, a claim that has not been independently confirmed.
  • News reports say it is unclear whether the 76ers would consider bringing him back, potentially in a reduced role behind Tyrese Maxey.
