PHILADELPHIA — You knew this was bound to happen.
A league source confirmed that Ben Simmons has filed a grievance to recoup the nearly $20 million in salary the 76ers withheld from him this season. ESPN was first to report the news.
The Sixers traded the disgruntled point guard to the Brooklyn Nets on Feb. 10 along with Seth Curry and Andre Drummond and two first-round picks for James Harden and Paul Millsap.
