Joel Embiid “Did a Lot of Chasing Around” Trying to Get Ben Simmons Back

Joel Embiid recently did a sit down with ESPN’s Malika Andrews and was asked about FORMER teammate Ben Simmons.
He said this:
“I did a lot of chasing around trying to get him back and try to make him feel comfortable again. It was tough. I didn’t care anymore.”

Well obviously none of the attempts to bring back Ben worked. He’s a Net now. James Harden is a Sixer. We should get his debut on Friday night in Minnesota and hopefully Ben is good to go for the March 10th game back in Philadelphia. Should be absolutely electric. You will hear booing like you’ve never heard it before.
