Simmons Joins Kings for Smart Rebuild | Sacramento Kings News

Ben Simmons is officially a Sacramento King, signing a one-year, $3.5M deal after impressing in a players-only minicamp with Team Australia — and with the Kings’ GM flying to Florida to watch him work out, it’s clear both sides are serious. At 6’10”, Simmons brings elite court vision, defensive versatility, and playmaking that can control games — even if his scoring isn’t his strength. With Sacramento’s offense already stocked, his impact will be felt on defense and in orchestrating fast breaks. Health remains a concern, especially after back issues in Brooklyn, but both he and the team believe he’s fully recovered — and the regular season will be the real test. Plus, Simmons can mentor rookie Darius Acuff Jr., who’s struggling to adjust, helping stabilize the young roster as they rebuild.
