As you may recall, at the end of last season there was a rift between the player and the team and as a result the Australian announced that he does not intend to play for the team again, but the team did not immediately respond to his request and the departure only took place in February.
During the eight months that Simmons was not part of the team, the Sixers fined him an estimated $ 20 million, and now through the alleged lawsuit Simmons is trying to get the money back.
The complaint, which will now go to arbitration, has been brought to the attention of the Seacars, NBA management and the players 'union, which supports Simmons' effort to recoup his salary.
