Ben Simmons didn’t a timeline for his return Wednesday night — however he did offer a silver lining — when the 76ers’ first overall draft pick shot down a report that there were rumblings from Klutch Sports about keeping him sidelined the entire season.
“There was a lot of talk,” Simmons said before the team’s opener against Oklahoma City. “Somebody put that out there, but I’ll come back when I’m ready.”
