Ben Simmons Outlines 'Bulletproof' Rehab in L.A., Leaving Return Date Open

The three-time All-Star says extended rehab is necessary after surgeries plus persistent pain.

Overview

  • He is training in Los Angeles with a goal of becoming “bulletproof” to prevent further health setbacks.
  • He says his shot finally feels good and he can take a simple hook shot without discomfort.
  • He is not rushing to sign a contract and is weighing a return as early as the season’s second half or waiting until 2026–27.
  • Chronic back problems included a herniated disc that required surgery and another procedure in March 2024, limiting him to 108 games since 2021–22.
