Simmons Back with Kings in Low-Risk Move | Portland Trail Blazers News

Ben Simmons is back in the NBA, signing a one-year, $3.5M deal with the Sacramento Kings after sitting out last season — a fresh start aimed at reviving his career. It’s a low-risk gamble for both sides: the Kings get a proven talent without big expectations, while Simmons gets a shot to prove himself again. Teams like the Knicks, Warriors, and Timberwolves eyed him, but the Blazers — busy rebuilding with Ja Morant — surprisingly passed. With Russell Westbrook retiring, Simmons might have a clearer path to minutes in Sacramento, making this move feel like hitting the perfect timeline in a million possibilities.
