But so much has gone wrong for Simmons and his former team in the years they’ve been apart that Simmons’ presence in Philadelphia barely registered this time around. He had even reached out to Embiid and others last summer, league sources said, in hopes of mending fences. Simmons, who is in the final year of his contract in Brooklyn, has shown how he can still impact a game with his passing, length and defense. But in the second quarter of Friday’s game, he also missed the rim on a layup in a clip that quickly went viral — reminding everyone how his time in Philadelphia went wrong. Can they ever try to figure it out together again? One source called it unlikely, but stranger things have happened. Especially with the Sixers.
