The last time Simmons played at the Wells Fargo Center was the last time he played in a professional basketball, on June 20th, 2021, as the Sixers were eliminated by the Atlanta Hawks in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Simmons demanded a trade from Philadelphia after struggling in the final four games of the series and sat out the entire 2021-22 season.
Last month, Simmons addressed the media as a new member of the Nets. It was his first time speaking publicly since June 20th, 2021 and Simmons explained that his mental health, as well as personal issues, were reasons why he needed a change of scenery.
“I've had some dark times over these last six months, and I’m just happy to be in this situation with this team and this organization," Simmons told the media on February 15th. "People are gonna say what they want…people are always gonna have their own opinions.”
