Ben Simmons Will Sign With Denver Nuggets

Veteran NBA point guard Ben Simmons remains unsigned late into the summer free agency period, drawing interest from multiple teams as he seeks to continue his career.

Simmons split the previous season between the Brooklyn Nets and Los Angeles Clippers, with his time in Brooklyn being more impactful due to a larger role. He averaged 6.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 6.9 assists, and 0.7 steals per game with the Nets, showing flashes of his former ability.

While not the All-Star player he once was, Simmons is still viewed as capable of efficiently running an offense and creating mismatches due to his size, making him a potential steal for any signing team. He is predicted to likely sign with a contender in pursuit of a championship.

One potential landing spot mentioned is the Denver Nuggets, who are seeking backcourt help and could see Simmons as a replacement for Russell Westbrook if he departs. The fit is considered plausible because Simmons' size could benefit Denver's second unit, and he might thrive playing alongside star center Nikola Jokic, despite not providing floor spacing.
