Ben Simmons (Reuters)
A month and a half after Ben Simmons officially left Philadelphia and moved to Brooklyn, as part of the huge trade that sent James Harden to the other side, the saga surrounding the Australian star refuses to get off the agenda. Tonight (Saturday) it was announced that the first choice in the 2016 draft, is not willing to put up with the fine he received from the management of the Sicers after refusing to play or take part in the team activities throughout the year.
The Australian was fined an estimated $ 20 million that was deducted from his salary, an amount he is now demanding to get back. The complex case will come to arbitration, with the court having to decide between the parties.
As you may recall, Simmons who moved during the season in a huge trade to Brooklyn after six years in the team uniform from Pennsylvania, has not yet played this season. The Hunts, his current team, updated a few weeks ago that the guard / forward is suffering from a herniated disc that prevents him from returning to the pitches at the moment.
