Ben Simmons Racks Up Double-Double Despite Position Swap
4 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers point guard/power forward Ben Simmons showed no ill effects of a position change during Saturday’s defeat to the Indiana Pacers, compiling 18 points and 13 rebounds across his team-high 38 minutes. With Shake Milton entering the starting five as the point guard, Simmons' shuffling around is head coach Brett Brown’s attempt at spicing up his offense ahead of the postseason. Any concerns that owners had ahead of a matchup with a stout Indiana defense were quelled, as Simmons now enters a contest versus the Spurs on Monday with a sense of comfort in the new surroundings. His only prior meeting with San Antonio back in November resulted in a triple-double in just 32 minutes.
