PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Ben Simmons backed his way to the basket, spun around Danilo Gallinari for the easy look at the net — an uncontested layup, a dunk — and he passed. Simmons shot 25-for-73 (34%) from the line in the playoffs and missed 27 alone against the Hawks. Coach Doc Rivers went from Simmons’ most ardent supporter early in the playoffs to openly wondering about the guard’s fate in Philly. Rivers wasn’t ready to rule out the return of the maligned guard if he’s ready to put in offseason work. Philadelphia 76ers' Ben Simmons warms up before Game 7 in a second-round NBA basketball playoff series, Sunday, June 20, 2021, in Philadelphia.
