On Wednesday night, Ben Simmons will head back into hostile territory.
The three-time All-Star and his Nets teammates will face the 76ers in Philadelphia for the second time this season. Simmons received a steady stream of boos from the Philly faithful in Brooklyn’s 115-106 loss back on Nov. 22, and he will certainly hear the hecklers again this time around.
The bigger concern for Simmons, though, is providing more offense for a team that has been missing Kevin Durant. Simmons has only hit double-figures in the scoring department once in his last 10 games.
Will Simmons have a breakout performance against his old squad?
Here is everything you need to know about Nets vs. 76ers, including TV and streaming options for the game.
