For the first time in NBA history, a player alleged not to be mentally fit to play. Ben Simmons' saga with the Philadelphia 76ers was one of the strangest situations ever since in major sports and not even his trade to the Brooklyn Nets was enough to put this story to rest.
Simmons was 'mentally blocked' upon his return to the court, up to the point that he actually suffered a lower-back injury. Now, his actual market value seems unclear as he works his way back to the floor.
