After Simmons was suspended for a game, his teammate Joel Embiid said, 'At the end of the day, our job is not to babysit somebody.'

The focus the last few weeks has been on the Brooklyn Nets and whether vaccine-hesitant Kyrie Irving would play any home games, but the Philadelphia 76ers’ ongoing saga involving point guard Ben Simmons has now taken center stage.
But Simmons returned to the team two weeks ago, reportedly to the organization’s surprise, and rejoined the 76ers in practice this week after clearing health and safety protocols. There was talk that Simmons might finally play with the team again during their season opener against the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday. But ESPN reported Tuesday that Simmons received a one-game suspension after being thrown out of practice by coach Doc Rivers for not participating in a drill.
“At this point, I don’t care about that, man, honestly.” Embiid continued, “He does whatever he wants. That’s not my job. That’s those guys’ jobs. I’m only focused on trying to make the team better, win some games, play hard every night, try to lead the guys that we have here.”
