Ben Simmons, former point guard for the Australian national team, will return to the NBA after a season away from professional basketball competitions. During this period, the player dedicated himself to fishing as his main activity.
The basketball player signed a one-year contract with the Sacramento Kings, an NBA franchise based in California. The financial details of the agreement were not disclosed.
Simmons, who was selected three times for the All-Star game, had not played in the NBA since the 2023-2024 season. His last team was the Los Angeles Clippers, where he ultimately became available on the free agent market before deciding to step away from basketball temporarily.
The signing by the Kings represents an opportunity for Simmons to revitalize his career in the world's premier basketball league, joining a team looking to strengthen its roster for the upcoming season.
