Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons wasn’t slowed down against the Los Angeles Lakers by a little partying.
I wrote yesterday that Simmons better be real careful about partying prior to games. It’s going to be nothing but trouble if he loses. There is actually very little upside at all.
Well, Simmons clearly didn’t have a problem because he went off for 18 points, 10 assists and 9 rebounds in a win.

Simmons can party his face off whenever he wants if those are the types of numbers he puts up a few hours later. In fact, I bet his coaches would prefer partying if it meant he would keep putting up big numbers. I might have been a bit too quick to judge because he clearly has no problem with partying slowing down his game at all.
