Ben Simmons Autographed Ball - & Inscribed "ROY '18" Authentic Spalding

While expectations varied around the league heading into the 2018 season for Ben Simmons and the Philadelphia 76ers, he and the team far exceeded those expectations. After sitting out the entire 2016-17 season, Simmons took a stronger leadership role and an even stronger role as a do-it-all point forward on the court from opening night. He notched a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds in his NBA debut. It was a loss for the Sixers, but there wouldn't be too many losses the rest of the way. The squad finished with a record of 52-30, which was its best mark since the NBA Finals season of 2000-2001. The Sixers reached the second round of the playoffs behind Simmons. He notched 12 triple-doubles during the regular season and earned Rookie of the Year honors, becoming the third player in franchise history to earn the award. Simmons has autographed and inscribed 'ROY''18' on this limited edition (125) authentic Spalding basketball in silver paint pen. His signature and inscription are deemed authentic by virtue of Upper Deck Authenticated's Five-Step Process.
