More on this storyline

Ohm Youngmisuk: Patty Mills says he hasn’t spoken to fellow Aussie Ben Simmons recently. “[We’re] close in certain things and obviously his journey has gone the path that it has watching from afar. With national team stuff we’ve come quite close. As a fellow countrymen, you always wish the best” -via Twitter @NotoriousOHM / October 21, 2021
