Ben Simmons Returns to NBA | Sacramento Kings News

Ben Simmons is back in the NBA, signing a one-year, $3.5M deal with the Sacramento Kings after sitting out last season due to back injuries. Once a three-time All-Star with Philly, he’s regained his swagger and confidence — thanks in part to godfather and former coach David Patrick — fueling his return. The Kings, strapped for cash and seeking veteran playmaking, saw Simmons’ unique value: his 6’10” frame lets him orchestrate plays, grab-and-go fast breaks, and defend multiple positions. With Sacramento’s defense ranking third-worst last year, Simmons’ two-way impact could be the spark they need to avoid draft relegation.
