Farewell: Ben Simmons Selling His Philadelphia Condo For $3.1 Million

Ben Simmons had taken much of the brunt of the Philadelphia 76ers’ shortcomings in these past NBA playoffs, particularly during the second-round series against the Atlanta Hawks, where the 25-year old Sixers point guard often looked lost and became unreliable in fourth quarters.

In 12 playoff games, Simmons only averaged 11.9 points per game and shot 34% from the free-throw line, missing 48 free throws in total. On the top of that, in the decisive Game 7 of their seven-game series against the Hawks, Simmons passed up a wide open shot that could’ve tied the game during the closing minutes.

Simmons’ disastrous playoff performance has drawn plenty of criticism and even led Sixers head coach Doc Rivers to throw him under the bus, expressing doubts about Simmons’ capability of leading the team to a title as the team’s point guard. 

This led to Simmons cutting ties with the franchise. He didn’t report to the Sixers’ training camp, didn’t show up for their preseason games either, and it looks like he won’t ever play another game for them.

Simmons now has taken the next step of leaving Philadelphia forever, as he has put up his apartment at The Ritz-Carlton Residences of Philadelphia for sale. It was listed this past Sunday for $3.1 million.

Simmons purchased his place at the Ritz for $2.54 million three years ago and it comes with three bedrooms and 4.5 baths, two underground parking spots, access to a fitness center, pool, and valet parking.
