Bernie Lee has formally removed himself as the agent of record for Ben Simmons, reports Marc Stein. 

Simons is contemplating retirement after 10 seasons in the league. Simmons has received interest from multiple teams including the New York Knicks.

Simmons began last season with the Brooklyn Nets. He then joined the Los Angeles Clippers following a buyout. In total, over seven NBA seasons, the 29-year-old guard/forward has averaged 13.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.5 steals per game for his career.

Lee is best known as the agent for Jimmy Butler.

This is the first time I've ever heard an agent fire a player.

Crazy that he's been in the league for 10 years when he's sat out what seems like 8 of them.
