Although Ben Simmons was on the bench for his return to Philadelphia, there was electricity in the air at the Wells Fargo Center for the Brooklyn Nets’ visit that gave the 76ers a 129-100 correction on Thursday afternoon.

Fans rushed to express their displeasure to Simmons, who left the team before exchanging in Brooklyn last month.

James Harden, who faced his former team for the first time, did not respond to the shine of his two former teammates, Kevin Durand and Carey Irving.

Durand dominated with 25 points, 14 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block in 32 minutes on the floor. Irving had 22 points and Seth Curry had 24.

Despite making just three of 15 shots on target in the first half, Harden surpassed Reggie Miller for third place in NBA history with the most three-pointers. Only Stephen Curry and Ray Allen are in front of him in this matter.

The game ended with just 11 points, six rebounds and five assists.

Joel Embiid was the relentless target of the field, as evidenced by his 19 free throws, but also struggled with efficiency with 29.4 of his shots.

The center finishes the game with 27 points and 12 rebounds, two higher for the Sixers in this game.

However, despite all the stars on the field, the focus was on Ben Simmons. In a dispute with the Sixers, the Australian has not played another game this season.

Refusing to play, Philadelphia was forced to trade Simmons to the Nets for Harden last month.

Simmons was not in the game, but was on the bench with his teammates during the match.

From the warm-up period, Philadelphia fans greeted their former star with disapproval and some fans were kicked out of the crowd during the match after being insulted.
