Kings Bet on Simmons as Backup | Sacramento Kings News

The Sacramento Kings just pulled off a bold move, signing Ben Simmons to a veteran minimum deal worth $3.5 million — aiming to use him as a mentor and backup point guard for rookie Darius Acuff. After sitting out nearly an entire season focused on fishing and Aussie team workouts, Simmons still brings defensive grit and playmaking upside from his recent Clippers stint. Health remains the biggest question mark, but with a low-risk contract, Sacramento is betting on a spark — and fans are watching closely to see if “The Process” can finally deliver on the court.
