The Philadelphia 76ers begin their preseason schedule on October 4 against Boston with training camp at Stetson University set to begin the week prior. Each player on the roster, and around the NBA, have their own personal workout regimen's and strategies to get themselves ready for a season and No. 1 overall pick Ben Simmons is no different.
After a short trip to Austrailia a little over a week ago, Simmons has arrived back in the states. He participated in the Sixers Beach Bash this past weekend, where Joel Embiid was seen rejecting a young boy with an emphatic block on the court in Avalon, New Jersey.
This week, Simmons looks to be working out with NBA World Champion and 2015-16 NBA Finals Most Valuable Player, LeBron James.
Simmons and James have been friends prior to the draft and the newest centerpiece of the Philadelphia 76ers doesn't have an issue calling James if he ever needs advice.
"A lot of different things,"Simmons told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show prior to the draft. "Whenever I need advice, I call him. He's been through a lot. He's been through a lot of things that I'll probably go through so he's probably someone good to go to."
In six Summer League games with the Sixers in July, Simmons averaged 10.8 points, 7.7 rebounds and 5.5 assists on 32.2 percent shooting.
