Former 76er Ben Simmons and the 2020 NBA Playoffs

Woj: Nets have ruled Ben Simmons OUT for Game 4 | NBA Countdown April 24, 2022 (2:19 Video)



Adrian Wojnarowski and the NBA Countdown crew discuss the Nets ruling out Ben Simmons for Game 4.

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith rips Ben Simmons after Nets say he won't play in Game 4

“I feel bad for anybody who was his teammate,” Smith said of the Simmons situation during halftime of Sunday’s Golden State-Denver game. “He quit on LSU. He quit on the Philadelphia 76ers. And now, he ain’t showing up for the Brooklyn Nets. We can point to all the excuses, all the rationale behind it that we want to. I do recall, despite him not playing, he still filed a grievance to collect $20 million that he has not earned.

"This is one of the most pathetic situations I’ve ever seen in my life. He ain’t going to war. He ain’t going into the octagon. He’s not going into the boxing ring. It’s pulling teeth to get this man to play basketball. It’s pathetic. It’s sad. And at the end of the day, when the NBA gets in the collective bargaining table, and they go after the players in terms of a pay for play stipulation in the collective bargaining agreement, it’s going to be called the Ben Simmons Rule.”
