Simmons Returns to NBA with Kings | Sacramento Kings News

Ben Simmons is back in the NBA—this time with the Sacramento Kings on a one-year, $3.5M deal, offering both a fresh start and low-risk opportunity for both player and team. After sitting out last season, Simmons showed up for workouts, met with staff, and underwent medicals, signaling his intent to prove he still has value. His recent stats (5 PPG, 5.6 APG) don’t match his All-Star past, but Sacramento’s focus is on health, defense, and playmaking—not a return to glory. For Simmons, it’s about proving his career isn’t over; for the Kings, it’s about seeing what he can bring without long-term commitment. One year could rewrite both their stories.
