In an ESPN interview and a podcast, two of Ben Simmons former teammates added fuel to the fire that will likely ignite on March 10 when the Nets and 76ers take the court at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
Both Joel Embiid and Danny Green took the airwaves in the past 24 hours to talk about Simmons, with Embiid playing the unlikely role of diplomat and Green suggesting that the Nets newest star is unlikely to play in the big Eastern Conference game and that he had less than “cordial” relations with the two Sixers traded with him to Brooklyn, Seth Curry and Andre Drummond.
