Former Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons claims he would be open to reuniting with his former team for nothing.

Ben Simmons expanded on the possibility of returning to the Philadelphia 76ers in a Tuesday comment on Instagram.

Tyrese Maxey scored 20 of his 35 points in the third quarter, Andre Drummond had 12 points and 10 rebounds, and the Philadelphia 76ers beat the Washington Wizards 121-102.

BOTTOM LINE: The Philadelphia 76ers host the Golden State Warriors in non-conference play. The 76ers have gone 6-6 at home. Philadelphia is eighth in the Eastern Conference at limiting opponent scoring, allowing just 118.0 points while holding opponents to 46.6% shooting.

Philadelphia 76ers star Tyrese Maxey is doing all the heavy lifting for the team, and the front office is ready to commit to him as their franchise player.

Maxey seems like a hardened veteran compared to the 21-year-old McCain and the 20-year-old Edgecombe. The trio of first-rounders — Maxey is not only an All-Star but surging toward All-NBA status — give the Sixers the type of fresh talent they could build a perennial playoff contender around.

Though at times it looked like something approaching a winning formula, it also looked like what it was: guys who haven’t played and practiced much together.
