Ben Simmons was terrified of the rim, Embiid and Philly fans in loss to 76ers

The Nets are still reeling from star forward Kevin Durant's absence due to a knee injury. Brooklyn fell on the road against a strong 76ers side (137-33) who is now on a 6-game winning streak.

Ben Simmons has come a long way since the ghastly start to his 2022-23 NBA season. The Nets gave the power forward a rare fresh start chance in the NBA, and it was ultimately looking like a total failure.

However, with more and more games under his belt, Simmons started putting things together. His confidence seemed to be returning, and his performances were on par through the very end of 2022. However, on Wednesday night at Wells Fargo Center, it is clear facing the 76ers in Philly is still too much for him.
