Ben Simmons pursues NBA return with interest from multiple teams

Ben Simmons is seeking an NBA comeback after sitting out the 2025-26 season due to injuries. Reports indicate that he's regained his athleticism and will participate in a player-led Australian national team minicamp without restrictions. Several teams, including the Philadelphia 76ers and Golden State Warriors, are viewed as potential fits for Simmons, who is open to signing for the veteran minimum. The 76ers, who recently made high-profile acquisitions, could see a return from Simmons as a compelling storyline, while the Warriors need depth after a quiet offseason. The New York Knicks, Minnesota Timberwolves, and Miami Heat are also considered as possible destinations for Simmons.
