Ben Simmons Returns to NBA with Kings | Philadelphia 76ers News

Ben Simmons is back in the NBA — but not in Philly. He’s signed a one-year, $3.5M deal with the Sacramento Kings, marking his return after sitting out last season. Fans erupted with “Why not Philly?” as many hoped for a reunion with the team that drafted him No. 1 overall in 2016 — a relationship complicated by his trade to Brooklyn. Reactions to his Kings move are split: some skeptical he deserves another shot, others optimistic he can reclaim All-Star form. The Kings are taking the gamble, betting on his elite defense and playmaking. This one’s worth watching as the season heats up.
