Simmons Joins Kings for Second Chance | Sacramento Kings News

Ben Simmons is making a surprising comeback to the NBA, signing a veteran minimum deal with the Sacramento Kings after impressing their GM during a showcase with the Australian national team. Once the No. 1 pick, Simmons’ career has been plagued by injuries, absences, and shooting struggles — including a full season sitting out and a stint with his fishing team. Despite interest from the Warriors and Knicks, he chose Sacramento, where he can leverage his elite defense and size as a 6’10” point guard — even if his offense remains limited. The move comes with risk: Sacramento’s roster is unstable, with coaching and player uncertainty looming. But for Simmons, it’s a chance to revive his legacy — if he can stay healthy and play consistently. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
