Before being traded, he did not travel or undergo training sessions with the former. Simmons had cited that he wished to focus on his mental health when he took some time off from the 76ers.<\/p>\n<p>However, Simmons\u2019 grievances with the 76ers go back to November 2021. NBA insider <strong>Shams Charania<\/strong> disclosed that the 76ers had withheld Simmons\u2019 dues irrespective of his mental health problems. The team had held back the payments due to Simmons\u2019 refusal to participate in the team\u2019s training sessions. The small forward had also refused to be with the 76ers on game day.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gDUG0Z0pGdU?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It was revealed on 8 March 2022 that Simmons would be present on the sidelines with the Brooklyn Nets during the game on 10 March since he joined them and would continue to do so when the 76ers and the Nets face each other at Philadelphia\u2019s Wells Fargo Center.<\/p>\n<p>The 25-year-old will make his first public appearance after he refused to be with the 76ers. It is expected that a hostile crowd would welcome Simmons at the Wells Fargo Center. Journalist <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.phillyvoice.com\/ben-simmons-grievance-expected-be-filed-soon-sixers-nets-meeting-backdrop\/\">Kyle Neubeck<\/a><\/strong> opined that the public outrage would strengthen Simmons\u2019 case against the 76ers.

Neubeck hinted at the reports of a tough security presence to shield Simmons from the angered public, which have been circulating since 8 March. He added that Simmons\u2019 attendance would support his case for not fulfilling his duties towards the 76ers and his unwillingness to continue with them before being dealt.<\/p>\n<p>League sources
