Ben Simmons seems to be about as good as gone from the Philadelphia 76ers. At least one retailer is acting accordingly.

NBC 10 anchor John Clark shared a photo on Twitter Friday that shows Ben Simmons jerseys are in the 50 percent off rack at the Philadelphia airport.

Simmons’ jerseys now have a home next to the excess Carson Wentz Eagles jerseys. Wentz was traded to Indianapolis over the offseason and, shockingly, is already hurt.

Simmons was the No. 1 pick by the Sixers in 2016 but has struggled with his shot throughout his career. Things came to a head during the playoffs when Simmons refused to shoot.

Now reports say Simmons will no longer report to the Sixers. After reading that story, even 50 percent off seems overpriced.
