The club fined Ben Simmons $19 million

Ben Simmons has not played a single game for Philadelphia in the NBA this season, and it seems that it will be the same until the end of the year.

After fierce criticism of him in last year’s playoffs, the Australian national team player decided to leave the team from Pennsylvania.

The club is also working on getting rid of Ben, however, his contract is huge and it is very difficult to find a team that wants to set aside so much money.

According to the word of the contract, Simons was supposed to earn 31 million dollars this year.

Due to the decision not to play, he has lost 19 so far, and it is certain that he will have the remaining 12 million by the end of the season.

However, the Australian does not want to give up.

“I am not interested in money. It’s not about that at all. People can hardly understand that. But if you believe in what you do and want to go to a better place, money is not important. It is difficult financially. However, I will endure, “Simmons said.
