According to multiple reports, current free agent Ben Simmons is legitimately considering retirement and is weighing his all his options. This comes after he found out he wouldn’t be making the same money he used to on his old contract, or even close to it.

ESPN’s Brian Windhorst says Simmons could only receive non-guaranteed minimum salary contracts from organizations. This and combined lack of interest from majority of the league has left Simmons in a tough spot.

Since entering the league back in 2017, Simmons has career averages of 13.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists.

Following his fallout with the Philadelphia 76ers, Simmons has been non-existent and has completely fallen off. The league no longer sees him as a franchise contributor or “that guy.”

Multiple Teams Interested In Ben Simmons

According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, Ben Simmons is expected to sign with a team soon, as multiple organizations are joining the Simmons sweepstakes. It’s expected a deal will be signed within the next week.

Teams like the New York Knicks, Phoenix Suns, and Boston Celtics have shown legit interest in signing the 29-year-old to a contract.

“I’m told he’s probably going to make a choice in the next week,” wrote ESPN’s Brian Windhorst on Threads. “Knicks, Suns and yes, Celtics have all been connected to him.”

Last season, Simmons appeared in 18 games for the Los Angeles Clippers. During that run, he averaged 2.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game.

It’s unclear what type of contract he’ll get and/or will accept, but it will not be anywhere close to the $177 million rookie extension contract back in 2020 with the Philadelphia 76ers.

To play for the Clippers, Simmons signed a one-year, $1 million deal for the remainder of the season. He is no longer owed any big chunks of money per season.

Sixers Thought About Signing Ben Simmons

According to Jake Fischer, a reunion between Philadelphia and Ben Simmons was explored by the 76ers.

Before the former Rookie of the Year winner signed with the Los Angeles Clippers, the Houston Rockets and Cleveland Cavaliers expressed interest in him. Even Philly had slightly expressed interest in him.

The last time Simmons was in a Sixers’ jersey was back in 2022, before he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets for James Harden. Neither players remain on Philly.

In this season for Brooklyn, the 28-year-old averaged 6.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.9 assists. In his debut game for the Clippers, he put up 12.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 3.0 steals, and a block.
