Ben Simmons has now managed to get paid by two teams to not play a single minute during the 2021-22 season. Brooklyn Nets All-Star guard Ben Simmons and his former team, the Philadelphia 76ers, reached a settlement agreement on the grievance Simmons filed to recoup a portion of the nearly $20 million withheld from him as a result of his failure to play games in the 2021-22 season, sources told ESPN on Monday. Both sides agreed to confidentiality on the exact financial settlement reached, sources said.
