Kings Risk Big on Ben Simmons | Sacramento Kings News

The Sacramento Kings are betting big on Ben Simmons, signing him to a low-risk one-year deal worth $3.5 million in hopes he can resurrect his career and spark their struggling offense. Once an All-Star with elite passing and rebounding skills, Simmons has been sidelined by injuries and questions about his confidence, playing fewer than 60 games since his second season. At 30, he’s now a potential game-changer for a team that ranked among the worst offensively last year — his playmaking could be exactly what Sacramento needs, even if he’s limited to bench minutes. This move is a calculated gamble: can Simmons still deliver elite assists while proving he belongs in the NBA? Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
