Philadelphia 76ers guard Anfernee Simons is training at Temple University to prepare for the 2026-27 NBA season. The eight-year veteran focused his recent workout sessions on improving his jumper and refining his catch-and-shoot mechanics. Simons, who averaged 14.3 points and shot 38.5% from beyond the arc last season across stints with the Boston Celtics and Chicago Bulls, is expected to bolster the Philadelphia bench. He joins a Philadelphia roster featuring Joel Embiid, LeBron James, Jaylen Brown, and Tyrese Maxey. Given the presence of these starters, the team intends for Simons to provide floor spacing and scoring off the bench during the season.
