PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Philadelphia 76ers and representation for disgruntled All-Star Ben Simmons have neared a resolution of the guard’s holdout.
Simmons was in Philadelphia Monday night. Coach Doc Rivers did not rule out the possibility of a return to practice at some point this week.
Simmons missed training camp and the preseason in the wake of his offseason trade demand that had left the Sixers without their three-time All-Star. The decision has cost Simmons millions in lost salary and fines.
The 25-year-old Australian still has $147 million and four years left on his contract.
