PHILADELPHIA — Whether it’s closure, payback or something else, Ben Simmons finally got it Thursday in Philadelphia. And now he can get on with his career in Brooklyn. , the hate started early, ran deep and never let up. But even if 76ers fans won’t ever forgive or forget how he left, now he’s finally put them in the rearview and his Nets stint squarely in focus.
Many predicted the still-sidelined Simmons — who has been open about his mental health issues — wouldn’t have the fortitude to join his new Nets teammates and sit on the visiting bench, taking the wrath of the spurned Sixers fans. But he did just that, taking their bile from the morning all the way through the end of the game. While the Nets have more drama than a season of “The Bachelor,” it may not entirely go away.
Simmons — who is not likely to do full five-on-five practice Saturday, according to a source — can take peace of mind in getting through the vitriol from the fans of his old team. Thursday’s Brooklyn blowout against the 76ers and James Harden — the man he was traded for a month ago Thursday — just made it sweeter.
