While Ben Simmons plans on not reporting to training camp with the Philadelphia 76ers and intends to never play for the franchise again, the team is actively trying to convince him to change his mind.

Comments from Doc Rivers after Philadelphia's Game 7 loss to the Atlanta Hawks led many officials across the league to believe that the partnership with Simmons was unsalvageable. The 76ers subsequently have struggled to find a trade for Simmons.

Simmons has four seasons and nearly $150 million remaining on his contract.
