Ben Simmons Aims for NBA Comeback | Sacramento Kings News

Ben Simmons is back in the NBA, signing a one-year deal with the Sacramento Kings worth up to $3.5 million — including a $1M roster guarantee if he’s on the team for their opener against LA Clippers on Oct 21. At 30, after sitting out the entire 2025-26 season to focus on himself, Simmons aims to prove he still belongs, stepping into a backup point guard role behind rookie Darius Acuff Jr. With the Kings eyeing a top draft pick next year, his minutes may be limited — but this is his shot to reignite his career and show he’s still got what it takes.
