The NBA preseason is just 10 days away, and the clock is ticking for the Philadelphia Sixers. They, more than anyone, want to fix the situation with Ben Simmons, which is getting more complex with each passing day.

A few days back, the Fresh Prince dropped an IG story where he was filming John Wall patting himself dry. As funny as it was, with Wall feeling embarrassed, it showed how Ben’s new home is a gym and his new religion, his workout.
