After a horrific outing with Philadelphia last year, Ben Simmons opted out of featuring for the franchise. Ever since then, he has been forced back into training on a few occasions, but to no avail. Due to apparent standoffs with coach Doc Rivers as well as Joel Embiid, he has warmed the bench and received hefty fines. Meanwhile, Doncic’s side has failed to capitalize on his prowess, which is obviously not too pleasing for the youngster. Can this be the deciding factor in a potential Simmons-Doncic union?

Luka Doncic reportedly interested in teaming up with Ben Simmons

Following his announcement, a couple of franchises have shown interest in the former All-Defensive Team member. A proven match-winner for Philly in the past, Simmons is lethal when on song. Most recently, there have been rumors regarding a potential agreement with Damian Lillard as well. Now, Luka Doncic has also been added to this list.

According to the reliable Austin Krell, Doncic is one of many players interested in partnering with Simmons. Although he has been averaging well over 20 points so far, he wishes to add the guard to his roster, whether or not at Dallas. In another revelation, his interest dates back to the summer gone by. As a result, the Mavericks are now on the list of Ben Simmons’ future destinations.

Do you see a Luka Doncic-Ben Simmons team up in the near future? The next few weeks will be vital. If neither of the players reach a satisfactory agreement with their current franchises, who knows what 2022 holds for both of them!
