The NBA announced today that Ben Simmons was named to the All-Defensive First Team, while teammates Joel Embiid and Matisse Thybulle earned All-Defensive Second Team honors. It’s the second time the 76ers have had three players named to All-Defensive teams in the same season after 1982-83 when Hall of Famers Maurice Cheeks, Bobby Jones and Moses Malone all did so.
Simmons has earned his second straight First Team honor, becoming the first 76er to do so since Hall of Famer Maurice Cheeks made four consecutive All-Defensive First Teams from 1982-86. Embiid, who was named to the All-Defensive Second Team in 2017-18 and 2018-19 joins Hall of Famers Bobby Jones and Cheeks as the only 76ers to earn such honors at least three times with the franchise. Thybulle’s selection is the first of his career, while he’s the 26th player ever to make an All-Defensive team within their first two NBA seasons.
