Report: Simmons's Agent Met With 76ers Management to Discuss Future With Team

Ben Simmons's agent, Rich Paul, met with 76ers management this week to discuss the All-Star guard's future with the team, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Paul, who is the CEO of Klutch Sports, met with Philadelphia president of basketball operations Daryl Morey and general manager Elton Brand at the pre-draft combine to evaluate the next steps in Simmons's career.

According to ESPN, the 76ers currently remain committed to keeping Simmons as a central piece of their franchise. No trade request was made this week, though the two sides are expected to continue discussing Simmons's future with the organization ahead of the July 29 NBA draft and August free agency, per ESPN.
