Ben Simmons recorded his 30th career triple-double tonight. He is the 3rd fastest player (228 games) to reach 30 triple-doubles in NBA history, behind Oscar Robertson (75 games) and Magic Johnson (190 games). pic.twitter.com/JTltLnElMK

Simmons almost left the Philadelphia 76ers recently
A performance far from trivial for Simmons. Especially since the main interested party almost had to leave the Philadelphia 76ers, just recently. Indeed, in the soap opera James Harden, finally sent to the Brooklyn Nets, Simmons, who apparently did not want to move, almost landed with the Houston Rockets, insofar as the name of Harden had circulated on the side of the Philadelphia 76ers. Visibly relieved to be able to stay, the Australian therefore released this famous performance. To the delight of his team, certainly. A formation which records there a ninth victory in thirteen games already played since the start of the NBA regular season and a first game played on December 23. Thanks to these very good arrangements, the Philadelphia 76ers franchise currently occupies second place in the Eastern Conference standings, behind the Boston Celtics.
