Ben Simmons is pursuing an NBA comeback by participating in Australia's player-led minicamp, per CBS Sports. The move comes after Simmons was out of the league for the entire previous season and has not played relevant basketball in recent years, according to Silver Screen and Roll.
Simmons turned 30 this summer and was once an All-NBA player at 23, before his career trajectory shifted significantly. Silver Screen and Roll noted that he has been taking time to heal physically ahead of his comeback attempt.
Multiple outlets have examined potential landing spots for Simmons, with Yahoo Sports and Silver Screen and Roll both asking whether the Lakers could be a fit for the guard. However, the reporting does not indicate any confirmed interest or negotiations from NBA teams at this time.
