Ben Simmons Nearly Notches Another Triple-Double
7 years agoPhiladelphia 76ers forward Ben Simmons was a stat sheet-stuffer against the Pelicans, flirting with a triple-double in his 25 minutes of action. Simmons was a solid contributor in the big three categories, finishing with 10 points, nine rebounds and eight assists in the win. He was equally impressive on defense, though, adding one block and a game-high three steals on the night. Simmons did go home with four turnovers, but that comes as no surprise to his owners. Kemba Walker was selected over him to replace Kristaps Porzingis in the All-Star game, and that could add fuel to the fire for the rest of his season. Look for the Aussie to keep up with this level of play going forward.
