- ■ news.com.au

BEN Simmons’ sister Liv has got the Aussie basketball star’s back.

Before the Philadelph­ia 76ers star reportedly agreed to a five-year, $US170 million ($F361m) contract earlier this week, Liv appeared to shade Simmons’ ex-girlfriend, Kendall Jenner, on social media, days after photos surfaced of the supermodel on a yacht with another basketball­er, LA Lakers player Kyle Kuzma, 23.

“I just wouldn’t ever wanna be known for dating athletes. Like imagine working your way through a league. Not a team a LEAGUE!” Liv tweeted.

She later posted: “Oh f**k you guys I live under a tree #shadylife.” According to the New York Post, Jenner, 23, appeared to shut down romance rumours with Kuzma, replying to a fan who posted a composite entitled, “Starting 5 of NBA Players Kendall Jenner Dated,” which featured Kuzma, Simmons, Jenner’s ex Blake Griffin, Cavaliers guard Jordan Clarkson, and Warriors guard D’Angelo Russell. The Keeping Up with the

Kardashian­s star has been linked to Clarkson and Russell when both previously played for the LA Lakers.

“2 out of 5 accurate, thanks,” Jenner tweeted.

Jenner split from 22-yearold Simmons earlier this year.

Prior to her breakup with Simmons, Jenner spoke about the sanctity of privacy during an interview with Vogue Australia.

“I’m very young, and right now I feel like relationsh­ips aren’t always super-certain and I don’t want to bring too much attention to something if you don’t really know long term [what it’s going to be].”
