Ben Simmons is set to get another NBA opportunity with the Sacramento Kings after leaving basketball for a period, according to reporting from outlets that cover the move.

Both sources describe Simmons as stepping away from the sport and then returning, using the same storyline of him pursuing fishing during his time away. The reports characterize the change as a renewed chance to play in the NBA with a new team rather than a continuation of his previous role.

While the coverage centers on the Kings opportunity and Simmons’ return, the available details in the provided excerpts are limited, with both outlets focusing primarily on the headline narrative. Neither source excerpted here provides extensive specifics on contract terms, timing, or basketball-related performance expectations beyond the fact of his return to NBA play with Sacramento.
