The Philadelphia 76ers have resumed fining Ben Simmons after he missed Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Simmons will lose his $360,000 game salary.

Philadelphia plans to continue fining Simmons until he cooperate with team physicians on his mental health and fulfills other basketball-related obligations.

Sixers officials believe that they have been supportive of Simmons' stated need for mental health assistance and that they are left no choice but for these actions in response.

Simmons entered the season with four seasons and $147 million remaining on his contract with both he and the 76ers preferring a trade.

Simmons has been showing up regularly at the team's facility for some daily basketball activity with coaches and individual teammates, but Philadelphia will begin fining him again for failures to participate in other requirements, such as strength training, film study and some presence at team practices and game-day shootarounds.
