Ben Simmons wants his ring back.

The Brooklyn Nets star player wants his former fiancé Maya Jama to return the engagement ring that was gifted to her when they thought they would be headed towards marriage. The Nets guard has reportedly sent Jama a legal letter demanding that she return the engagement ring. The ring is worth $1 million.

The reason behind their split is that they both wanted to concentrate on their careers.

Jama indicated she never intended to keep the ring and was caught off guard by the demand letter.

“This was the first time that she has been asked by Ben to return it and, for the avoidance of any doubt, she has never refused to return it,” per Amelia Wynne’s report for the Daily Mail.

Simmons, who was the No. 1 overall pick of the Philadelphia 76ers in the 2016 NBA Draft, was traded to the Nets last year.

He has played in 36 games so far this season.

The 6-10 Simmons is averaging 7.6 points, 6.7 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game for the Nets.
