Ben Simmons refused to go in for defensive drill

More details are making their way out from Philadelphia and it's only going to anger 76ers fans. With news breaking that Ben Simmons has been suspended for a game, we now know why.

Per Shams Charania, Simmons was asked not once, but twice by Doc Rivers to go in for a defensive drill. He declined both times, leading to Rivers telling him to go home. Wow.

Sources: Doc Rivers asked Ben Simmons to join a defensive drill today. Simmons refused. Rivers asked again. Simmons said no again.

Rivers then told Simmons he should go home, and Simmons dropped the ball and left.

What would you expect Rivers to do here? Simmons is acting like a little kid right now and it's having a negative impact on the team chemistry. If Simmons doesn't change his attitude, another suspension could be coming soon too.
