His father played college basketball for Oklahoma City University in the United States before turning professional with the Melbourne Tigers in Australia's National Basketball League in 1989. He was raised alongside five siblings-Melissa, Emily, Liam, Sean, and Olivia-the first four being from his mother's previous marriage.

His father is an African-American expatriate who became a naturalised citizen of Australia, and his mother is a white Australian.

Simmons was born in the Melbourne suburb of Fitzroy to father Dave and mother Julie. A dual citizen of Australia and the United States, Simmons has played for the Australian national team. Simmons is the son of an American-born father, Dave, who played professional basketball in Australia. Simmons left school to enter the NBA draft, becoming the third Melbourne-born number one overall pick (following Andrew Bogut and Kyrie Irving) in 11 years. In his only season in college, LSU began the season with high expectations, but they failed to qualify for the NCAA tournament. Simmons attended Box Hill Senior Secondary College in his hometown of Melbourne, Victoria, before moving to the United States to attend Montverde Academy in Montverde, Florida. As the result of a holdout from the 76ers following the 2020–21 season, which led him to be traded to the Nets, Simmons is the most-fined player in NBA history. After sitting out a year due to an injured right foot, he was named the NBA Rookie of the Year in 2018 and was selected three times to the NBA All-Star Game. Simmons was selected with the first overall pick in the 2016 NBA draft by the Philadelphia 76ers. He played college basketball for one season with the LSU Tigers, after which he was named a consensus first-team All-American and the USBWA National Freshman of the Year.

He legitimately cost them the series with his lack of aggression offensively. Just straight up not good. He didn’t exactly get a ringing endorsement from J oel Embiid and Doc Rivers, either.Īnd they were absolutely in the right not to do so. He just had a disaster of a series against the Hawks where he was an absolute no-show for the 76ers on the offensive end. Look, we have no idea what will happen between now and September when the NBA season starts for the 76ers.īut Ben Simmons probably won’t be on the roster.
