Joel Embiid & Doc Rivers Threw Ben Simmons Under The Bus After Game 7 Loss (VIDEOS)

Ben Simmons might’ve played his final game in a Philadelphia 76ers jersey.

Doc Rivers was very harsh in a response he had about the young star who scored just five points in the game and was unplayable at times in the series due to his free throw shooting.

Rivers was asked after the series whether he believed Simmons could be the point guard on a championship team.

“I don’t even know the answer to that right now,” Rivers said.

Joel Embiid was next up when he said the game turned when Simmons refused to shoot an open layup down 88-86 and 3:30 to go in their game.

Embiid’s response:

Ben Simmons smh RT @SportsCenter: "I don't know how to say it – but I thought the turning point was we had an open shot, we missed and we made one free throw."
