NEW YORK — Kevin Durant says Nets vs. 76ers isn’t a rivalry — even though his former co-star James Harden forced a trade from Brooklyn to Philly less than a month ago.
Even though Ben Simmons, too, forced a trade from Philly to Brooklyn, refusing to take part in training camp or play in a game for the Sixers this season after his teammates and head coach threw him under the bus following their playoff loss to the Hawks last year.
Even though the Sixers reportedly aren’t planning a video tribute for Simmons despite his role in lifting the franchise from the bottom of the conference in his first four seasons.
