The NBA is inching closer to a return on July 30 in the “bubble site” the league has set up at Disney World in Orlando. So, now is the time for guys to get back in the gym and work out a bit more in order to be in shape for this final run.
Philadelphia 76ers guard Ben Simmons has been in the gym working out, but it appears that he is being joined by an NBA legend. A picture was taken by Alex Subers–the team’s official photographer–and it does appear that Simmons is in the gym with Miami Heat legend and 3-time NBA champion Dwyane Wade.

Wade has always been impressed by Simmons and it’s great to see a legend want to step in and help a young player like him grow. The big knock on Simmons’ game has been his lack of a 3-point shot and that’s not an era where Wade exactly excelled–he was a career 29.3% shooter from deep–but he is still one of the game’s elite scorers in its history and he can teach Simmons a lot of different moves on the offensive end to succeed.
