AP source: Simmons won’t report to 76ers’ training camp

UNDATED (AP0 — A person with direct knowledge of Ben Simmons’ plans tells The Associated Press the All-Star guard won’t report to training camp next week. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because discussions of Simmons’ plans with the franchise have been private.

NCAA places Ga Tech women’s hoops team on 3 years probation
