There was never any doubt that Ben Simmons wouldn’t receive copious amounts of boos in his return to the Wells Fargo Center amongst the Philly Faithful.

Given that it’s Philadelphia, Simmons is sure to hear it from fans of his former team throughout the course of the night. Here’s every major moment from Simmons’s return to Philadelphia.
