Two incredible talents have not played a singles game this season for their respective teams, and no, it is not as a result of injuries. Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons are yet to suit up for their teams even since the preseason.

Simmons had a rough 2021 playoffs, and the Philadelphia 76ers fans were beyond upset. Ben did not feel like he had enough support from the organization and made up his mind to leave.

Throughout the offseason, the Sixers attempted to move Simmons, but the demands were too much, especially for a player who was not going to be much help offensively. No franchise was willing to give up crucial pieces for Simmons.

The Sixers are willing to have Simmons back, but the All-Star guard is not ready to play for the team. According to Ben, he is not mentally ready despite help from the team's medical specialist.
