Ben Simmons was asked about his return to Philly on Tuesday and if enough time has passed that maybe the animosity has died down a little:

I could be in the minority here, and it’s not like we have a gauge on this, but it doesn’t feel like there is a lot of juice locally for this game. We’ve got Thanksgiving. We’ve got a 9-1 football team. People are still wondering if they should invest time and money into this Sixers team. James Harden and Tyrese Maxey are both out. Tickets are only going for $67 to get in the door. Last year you couldn’t find a seat for less than $250. I think there will definitely be a ton of boos every time he touches the ball. There might be a couple ‘Fuck Ben Simmons’ chants, but it’s not going to be like last year. Last year was insane:

Maybe I’ll head down there to talk to my good friend Kyrie. We’ve got a lot to catch up on. I wonder if he’s seen any good movies lately:
