Ever since the second round of the playoffs this past postseason, the relationship between the Philadelphia 76ers and Ben Simmons has slowly been eroding. Now it appears that Simmons has had enough and told the Sixers top heads just how he feels.

Rumored by Keith Pompey of The Inquirer (subscription needed), Simmons has let the Sixers know that he doesn’t want to be a member of the franchise anymore and that he doesn’t plan on showing up for training camp either.

I previously wrote that this could be an outcome as things continued to get worse between the All-Star playmaker and the 76ers.
