Ben Simmons fined $1.4 Million and then Filed Mental Disability to stop Fines

The NBA’s collective bargaining agreement protects the salaries of players who don’t attend games, practices, and meetings “if such failure has been caused by the player’s mental disability,” according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Philadelphia previously docked Simmons $1.4 million for missing all four preseason games, as well as practices and team activities.
