Report: Ben Simmons Expected to Continue Sitting Out After Trade Deadline If Not Otherwise Moved

76ers All-Star Ben SImmons has not played for Philadelphia this year and it appears increasingly unlikely he will return for the franchise in the 2021–22 season.

On Wednesday, The Athletic's Sam Amick reported that sources close to Simmons continue to insist that he’ll sit out the entire season if a deal isn’t done by the deadline.

The NBA trade deadline is set for Feb. 10, at 3 p.m. ET.

Last week, Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix reported the organization has conveyed to opposing teams that it isn't lowering the asking price for Simmons.
