Tobias Harris has thrown his weight behind his Philadelphia 76ers compatriot after Ben Simmons claimed he was having mental health issues
No one truly knows what is going on in Ben Simmons head at the moment. While the player has claimed he’s having mental health issues at the moment, his claims are contentious owing to his never ending shenanigans this year.
After being thrown out of practice by Doc Rivers for refusing to be subbed into a drill, Simmons went onto also be suspended for the 76ers opening game of the NBA 2021. The player thereon went onto completely refuse to return back to the 76ers camp with him claiming he was mentally unstable at the moment.
Tobias Harris Comes Out In Support Of Ben Simmons After Mental Health Claims
However, with reports emerging of Simmons rocking up to the Delilah Strip Club soon after being thrown out of practice, the player’s claims of mental health make for outlandish comments. A string of people accuse Simmons of merely using the excuse as a means to escape partaking in shooting arounds with the 76ers as he actively seeks an exit from the club.
With his antics seeing almost all support for him dry up, Simmons has found an ally at long last. The player has been backed by Tobias Harris who recently took to Twitter to comment on Simmons meeting up with the entire Philadelphia 76ers team to inform the side, Doc Rivers and Joel Embiid that he wouldn’t be returning.
“And we’ll respect his privacy and space during this time. When he’s ready, we will embrace our brother with love and handle our business on the court. That’s it, that’s all,” Harris said on Twitter.
