Kings Sign Ben Simmons, Set Clear Expectations for Comeback Season
The former All-Star joins Sacramento for his eighth NBA campaign after sitting out last year, stepping into a defined role.
Ben Simmons is heading back to the NBA, signing with the Sacramento Kings ahead of his eighth season in the league.
The three-time All-Star missed all of last season and has dealt with reduced playing time since his trade away from the Philadelphia 76ers. The upcoming campaign serves as a high-stakes comeback for Simmons, who enters the year aiming to prove he remains an NBA-caliber contributor.
However, Sacramento has established a measured approach to his arrival. As reported by BasketNews, the Kings have defined clear expectations for Simmons and do not anticipate him taking on a heavy workload as he works his way back onto the floor.
