Ben Simmons has jersey ripped down the side … but no foul

Maybe these Nike uniforms need better material.

Or maybe the refs should have seen the foul committed on Ben Simmons.

Simmons had his jersey completely ripped down the side on Friday night when he went for a rebound during the second quarter vs. the Pacers (you can watch the video above).

No foul call.

But Simmons somehow had a ruined jersey that he threw off before eventually confronting the referee as to say: Hey, there's a reason I'm not wearing my jersey … it was destroyed … because I was fouled.

Seriously, though, maybe it is just the jersey.

Ripped jersey, no call, none of it stopped Simmons, who continued stuffing the stat sheet with 14 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds in a 121-110 win (see observations).

And if Simmons couldn't find a new top, he could probably borrow one of Dario Saric's towels.

Meanwhile, these Sixers have won four straight, jumping above .500 at 5-4.

Forget the jersey, let's celebrate.
