Ben Simmons has yet to take the floor since joining the Brooklyn Nets’ roster back in February. And as his new team faces off against the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the NBA play-in tournament, the three-time All Star continues to take his spot on the bench.
That didn’t stop him from making headlines on Tuesday night, though.
Simmons’ game-day outfit is going viral on Twitter.
The former No. 1 overall pick is rocking a green lamb-skin suit jacket and green shorts on the Nets’ bench — seated on an elevated chair as he continues to deal with his nagging back injury.
Simmons’ eyebrow-raising fit is garnering quite the reaction from fans around the league.
