It has now been eight years since we have seen Ben Simmons in the Australian jersey, and a priori, it will not be for this year … In the aftermath of the elimination of the Sixers and his personal fiasco, Simmons would have decided to put an end to the Olympic Games. According to ESPN, the reason would be simple: he prefers to spend his summer working, and we imagine that he will concentrate his efforts on the shoot, and this, whatever the distance since he finished the playoffs with a terrible 33% on the throws -francs.
Third nation in the FIBA rankings, Australia will begin its preparation for the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, before facing the United States, Argentina and Nigeria in Las Vegas.
Despite the very likely package of Simmons, the Aussies will still aim for a medal with elements like Patty Mills, Joe Ingles, Aron Baynes or Matthew Dellavedova. And maybe Matisse Thybulle to represent the Sixers.
