Key points: Ben Simmons has met with his 76ers teammates for a meeting his coach hopes will help begin to bring him back into the fold Both Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris made public statements of support, calling Simmons their "brother" Simmons did not play in the 76ers home opener against Brooklyn and a return date is as yet unknown Simmons sat out the Philadelphia 76ers' home opener on Friday night — which they lost 114-109 to the Brooklyn Nets — for personal reasons and the franchise does not know when the three-time All-Star guard will return. Earlier, Tobias Harris said he and the team would give Simmons time and welcome him back into the fold when he was ready. Rivers said it was a "productive day" and hoped the meeting was a start toward bringing Simmons back into the fold.
