Ben Simmons was approached by Daryl Morey about his potential return to game action on Wednesday. Simmons restated that he is not yet mentally ready to play and continues to seek professional help.

A timetable for when Simmons could make his 21-22 season debut has not been set.

Officials from the 76ers have not requested specifics about the discussions Simmons has had with mental health professionals. 

Both the 76ers and Simmons have sought a trade since the end of their 20-21 season.
