BEN SIMMONS: ''I WANT OUT''
Nov 21, 2019
A shocker was just send through the entire NBA, when Ben Simmons publicly admitted that he wanted to be traded. The 23-year old never spoke about the rumours ongoing about the sixers locker room, until tonight.
This interview is from his post-game press conference, merely 30 minutes after the media was informed of his request
''It's not working anymore, we've tried, trust me, we did try.''
''So how did this come about?''
''Mostly our gameplay, i had no problems with him and the way he(Embiid) was playing, but he certainly did with me. I'm not here to get into too much detail about the reasons for our altercations though.''
he continued..
''At the end of the day we both went to the board and told them that it was going to be either me or him. And the rest is history''
''It ended up becoming you?''
''Yes.''
Simmons clearly still rattled, walked off the stage into the locker rooms.
