Brooklyn Nets star Ben Simmons suffered an embarrassing moment at a fans practice session when he attempted and air-balled a close-range jump-shot.
The Australian former first-overall draft pick has had a difficult 18 months, being away from basketball after refusing to play for his former team the Philadelphia 76ers. Simmons cited mental health issues as the reason he had 'not been ready' to take the floor with his teammates.
In an interview with former teammate JJ Redick, Simmons had stated that he asked the Sixers for help, however, he was continuously fined for refusing to play - making him the most fined player in NBA history. Simmons and the Sixers have since settled a deal after the former filed a grievance to recoup around $20million (£17m) which he was fined.
