A leading NBA analyst has revealed how Australian star Ben Simmons abandoned his new teammates at the Brooklyn Nets in their must-win NBA post-season series against the Boston Celtics.
Simmons' ugly exit from Philadelphia was highly publicised in 2021 before he moved to a star-studded Nets side in a complex trade that saw All-Star guard James Harden exit for the 76ers.
The blockbuster trade ended a long impasse between Simmons and the 76ers and saw him land at the Nets on a $35 million USD ($50 million AUD) contract and a star-studded roster including Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Australian star Patty Mills.
