    Don't expect to see Ben Simmons lacing it up for the Australian national team during this summer's Tokyo Olympics.

    According to ESPN's Brian Windhorst, the Philadelphia 76ers guard is "doubtful to play" in the Games and will instead take the offseason to improve with an eye on the 2021-22 NBA campaign after his team was eliminated by the Atlanta Hawks in the second round of the playoffs.

    While Simmons did not play in the 2016 Olympics as the No. 1 overall pick of that year's draft prepared for the start of his NBA career, it appeared as if he might join the team for this summer's Games when he was part of the team's announced 24-man squad in February.
