Ben Simmons to Join Clippers After Nets Buyout

The three-time All-Star guard is set to sign with Los Angeles following his departure from Brooklyn after an injury-plagued tenure.

Ben Simmons and the Brooklyn Nets agreed to a contract buyout, ending his three-year stint with the team marred by injuries and limited performance.
Simmons reportedly intends to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers after clearing waivers, reuniting with former trade counterpart James Harden.
The Clippers, currently seventh in the Western Conference, seek Simmons’ defensive versatility and playmaking to bolster their rotation for a playoff push.
Simmons played 33 games this season for the Nets, averaging 6.2 points, 6.9 assists, and 5.2 rebounds per game, significantly below his career averages.
The 28-year-old Australian, a former Rookie of the Year and three-time All-Star, will aim to revitalize his career in a reduced role with the Clippers.
