Why would the team risk Simmons back on a series they are going to lose?

That would make sense but Simmons had the balls to practice and go speak to media before Game 3 but ducking Game 4 because we’re now down 0-3? That is corny and I’m losing my respect already for him.
Even Deron Williams had more balls than that.

Playing hurt, especially with a back injury, doesnt make you "ballsy" it makes you an idiot.
Look were playing with a bad hammy got Harden
Look where playing with a bad knee got KD
dude is 25 and the future of this team. if he isnt 1000% he shouldnt play. he probably shouldnt play even if he is healthy. give him a full offseason with the team.

If he wants to retire, by all means go for it.

You want this guy as the future of your team? Yikes.
Dudes also 26 going in to his 7th year. He’s not really a kid anymore.

Even if you define it that way, he’s still not the caliber of player you hitch your future to. But hey, good for the Sixers.

Sure you do. Getting high end talent is really difficult. when you get it, you try and make it work and pivot if/when it doesn't. he doesnt need to be a top 2 player for at least the next 2 years, he just needs to be a 3rd guy and role player/defender. so we have 2 year to evaluate that.
That would put us into his walk year, conveniently.

No one is relying on him. That is why you let it play out. you have the luxury of evaluating what he will provide.

He will provide drama. At least the entertainment value of this team is super high..
