Simmons Gets Second Chance with Kings | Sacramento Kings News

Ben Simmons is back in the NBA, signing a one-year deal with the Sacramento Kings — a low-risk gamble that could be a big win for both sides. After a brief stint last season and a quiet workout process, Simmons brings his elite passing and defensive versatility to a team hungry for veteran leadership as they integrate rookie Darius Acuff Jr. The Kings aren’t expecting a return to All-Star glory, but they’re betting on his ability to run the offense and anchor the defense. Simmons, undeterred by critics like Patrick Beverley who questioned his second chance, responded with gratitude and determination. This deal gives Sacramento a proven facilitator to mentor their young core — while giving Simmons a real shot to reignite his career before it’s too late.
