The National Basketball Association’s (NBA) team, the Philadelphia “76ers,” has not made a salary payment to Ben Simons, writes The Athletic reviewer Shams Sharania.
He reports that the unit has withheld $ 8.25 million. It should be noted that last season Simons’ salary was 30.6 million dollars, next season it will be 33 million dollars.
Sources: The 76ers are not paying Ben Simmons his $8.25 million payment due today as the three-time All-Star awaits a trade. Simmons still is not showing up to Philadelphia and has understood the ramifications of his holdout.

“76ers” star Simons has previously reported that he refused to join the team at the training camp and with recent actions put pressure on the management of the Philadelphia club to be replaced as soon as possible. For the time being, the organization is not in a hurry, because it will simply wait for a club to offer a competitive offer.
The Australian was warned that he could be subject to financial sanctions if he did not comply with the terms of the contract. Simons expressed his readiness to continue demonstrating his position until the change from the “76ers”. Now the club will also take up active activities without paying him a salary.
The 25-year-old basketball player still has an active four-year contract for a total of $ 147 million. NBA spectators speculate that Simons’ sentiment deteriorated when he was treated as one of the assets of a shift in which the 76ers tried to win James Harden last season. The deal didn’t happen, but it didn’t change Simon’s outrage that the club wanted to get rid of him.
