Ben Simmons Returns to NBA | Sacramento Kings News

Ben Simmons is back in the league—signed a one-year, $3.5M deal with the Sacramento Kings after sitting out last season and turning down the Knicks. A 2016 No. 1 pick, three-time All-Star, and two-time All-Defensive First Teamer, Simmons brings elite playmaking (13 PPG, 7 RPG, 7 APG) to a Kings squad hungry for a breakout. His last game was with the Clippers in 2024–25; now, with no team offering him a long-term deal, he’s entering a quiet but pivotal chapter. Can he recapture his early magic? The Kings are betting yes—and fans are watching closely as this unexpected reunion takes shape. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
