Ben Simmons won't be playing tonight when his new team the Brooklyn Nets play his old team the Philadelphia 76ers in Philadelphia.  His back/brain is still injured.

But he will be allegedly sitting on the bench, where the Philly crowd will boo him without mercy for disappearing in the playoffs last year and then forcing a "mental health" trade.

In fact, some Philly goons got in their hate early, heckling at the big, soft Aussie at his hotel.

Who will ultimately win the Harden - Simmons swap?

After a month, it's looking good for Philly.
