Suspension:
First, the Sixers organization were the ones who made it clear that they wanted the All-Star guard traded but as soon as the it was understood they wouldn’t be getting the expected return for their star, they were expecting for their max-contract player to resume training.
But Ben isn’t ready for it, he plans to meet medical professionals for evaluation after telling the team past Friday that he isn’t mentally ready to play to his expectations and needs time to step away.
Practice video:
Ben Simmons sat out the Philadelphia 76ers’ home opener on Friday night for personal reasons and the franchise does not know when the three-time All-Star guard will return.
Simmons was suspended for the first game of the season for conduct detrimental to the team after coach Doc Rivers threw him out of practice for refusing to participate in a drill. He returned Friday and addressed the team before the opener against Brooklyn. Rivers said it was a “productive day” and hoped the meeting was a start toward bringing Simmons back into the fold.

He was reportedly sent home after not being engaged during the practice session, and the NBA announced that his suspension was due to “conduct detrimental to the team”.
After being removed from the session, Ben allegedly went to blow off some steam at a local strip club, and social media users are laughing about it on Twitter.
Scouting report:
Not only has Simmons demanded to be traded, he was kicked out of practice and suspended for Wednesday’s season opener, and his status for Friday’s home opener against the Brooklyn Nets remains up in the air.
But five years ago, one scout appeared to paint a pretty accurate picture of who Simmons was, and who he might become.
