Ben Simmons’ relation with the Philadelphia 76ers needs no introduction. An affair what started as a love story, surely had one of the most outrageous endings.

Speaking to reporters at Tuesday’s shootaround at the Carole Hoefener Center, head coach Steve Nash shared that he thinks it could be good for Simmons to get used to being heckled by fans, according to The Athletic’s Alex Schiffer. 

That being said, team wouldn’t want Simmons to have to get used to being mercilessly heckled for the first time during the playoffs, so maybe this way he gets to expose himself to the extreme conditions. However, there may be another reason he’ll be in attendance as well: He wants the $20 million his representation may think he’s still owed back.

As per Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice, “There’s Kevin Durant vs. Joel Embiid, James Harden vs. his former teammates, and Ben Simmons vs. just about everybody. It’s that last piece many are focused on, with league sources anticipating that Simmons and his representation will file a formal grievance against the Sixers at some point in the coming days.” 

“The suggestion has been floated in league circles that Simmons showing up for Thursday’s game is merely setting the stage for Simmons and Klutch Sports’ argument when the grievance is filed. Reports of an increased security presence at Thursday’s game circulated on Tuesday morning, which a cynical observer would say is meant to combat the venom directed at Simmons specifically.”
