Ben Simmons Back with Kings | Sacramento Kings News

Ben Simmons is back in the league, signing a one-year, non-guaranteed $3.5M deal with the Sacramento Kings — making just $1M if he’s on the roster opening night. After extensive medical checks and workouts, Simmons chose Sacramento over big-name contenders like the Knicks and Warriors. The six-foot-ten point guard, once a top draft pick and three-time All-Star, has battled injuries and mental health issues, sitting out last season to focus on recovery. If healthy, he could be a game-changer for the Kings’ defense, backing up rookie Darius Acuff Jr. and potentially playing forward — offering size, versatility, and much-needed depth as they look to improve after a rough defensive season.
