Sources tell ESPN that Philadelphia 76ers All Star Ben Simmons will not report to training camp's opening next week. He intends to never play for the team again.
Simmons has not spoken to the team since late August, when he sent this message to Sixers officials.
Simmons knows that there are sanctions that can be applied to him to suspend or fine him. This includes withholding salary. Simmons is willing to implement a plan to get to a new team, but he has not yet done so.
The Sixers have yet not found a trade for him.
