Sorry but The NBA, Needs To Void Simmons Contract. He Claims Practicing And Playing Caused His Mental Issues, No Pay.. Until He Is 100% cleared to practice and play.. load management? Kawhi, started that bs, so many years ago, David Stern Pentalised Kawhi, And The Spurs.. The Owners Are Going To Take Control Of This Situation, Including Kyrie,

This is one of the saddest takes I’ve ever witnessed on National TV. Stephen Smith is now telling her players how and when they should play injured

Stephen a says he is not going to question if it’s really a back injury and then in the next sentence questions the back injury

He declared to be in surgery to get full payment of his annual salary thru insurance. Such a good act

If you hate Ben Simmons for whatever reason just say you hate him…but to question a surgery?

Considering the grievance was $20mil he filed to get his money back? You mean you never been to the chiropractor for “soft tissue damage” after a car accident set up by your lawyer? You mean only 20 former NBA players were charged with Insurance Medical Fraud for amounts way less than $20mil?

Why is it always about money with Stephen A? Why u always trying to blackball players from making money? He needs surgery, is that not enough evidence that he has a hurt back? They just handing out surgeries to anyone now? Quit with your emotions diva and state facts

Happy Mother’s Day to Mama KD. Props for remaining calm in the middle of handling two problematic children in Kyrie and Ben.😂

Everybody weighing in on his back must be a heavy load to carry. Some would say too much for one 6’11” man to carry. Easy to strain your back

He should donate his money to ppl who also have a minor back injury and can’t go to work

I wish I could take advantage of my employers and get paid while taking whatever days off like some of these NBA players.

They admitted he had legit back issues just 2 seasons ago. Windy said back problems don’t just go away and that people often need multiple back surgeries, but now they don’t understand him having a back problem? ITS THE SAME PROBLEM YOU SAID YOU KNEW ABOUT TWO SEASONS AGO!
