Philadelphia 76ers superstar Ben Simmons wore this white alternate jersey for the season finale April 11th, 2018 game. Simmons played in 22 minutes, scoring 4 points with 6 rebounds and 7 assists as the Sixers defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 130-95 at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia to finish with a 52-30 regular season record.
Simmons finished the 2017-18 season with an incredible line of 15.8 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 8.2 assists per game. Along with fellow young sensations Joel Embiid and Dario Saric, Simmons led the Sixers to a 24-win improvement over the previous season’s 28 wins, and a shock appearance in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. For his efforts, Simmons was awarded the 2017-18 Rookie of the Year award in a landslide over Donovan Mitchell and Jayson Tatum.
