Ben Simmons has been the subject of a lot of basketball talk recently.
He didn’t have a great playoffs and has been in trade talks ever since the Sixers lost to the Hawks in game 7.
Now, his teammate Danny Green is providing some insight into how Ben might be thinking during games this season via the Inside The Green Room Podcast saying
“I saw a kid that had been going through a lot the whole year. Mentally, emotionally, inside, outside, off the court with his family… I knew he was going through a lot,” Green said on his Inside The Green Room podcast, per Jack Connell. “You can tell Ben’s the type of kid if he’s not encouraged, if he’s not pushed or forced to do it, he’s not the type to take that risk…”
“…I think it was a plethora of things that made a domino effect for him to kind of go into his shell. At the same time, he still fought, he still showed up, he still played, he still worked hard, he still tried to give us our best chance to win… It was just offensively he wasn’t the Ben Simmons we needed him to be at the time.”
Maybe Ben just needs to get away and get his mind right.
Currently, Simmons is in London with his new girlfriend Maya Jama.
