Nets star Ben Simmons says he “never really had a relationship” with ex-Philadelphia 76ers teammate Joel Embiid, and that the two have not spoken since the blockbuster trade last season.
Simmons, during a sitdown interview with ESPN in Milwaukee, said he didn’t take it personally when Sixers fans booed him while he was on the bench during the Nets’ March 10 matchup in Philadelphia last season.
The star forward said he’s looking forward to actually playing against his former team at the Wells Fargo Center on Nov. 22.
