Sacramento Kings guard Ben Simmons is believed to have torn his Achilles tendon during a practice session, according to multiple reports. ESPN says sources told the outlet Simmons received a preliminary diagnosis indicating the injury occurred on Sunday. CBS Sports similarly reports the injury is a torn Achilles and frames the situation as ending his comeback before it begins.
The reports also describe the injury as likely season-ending. Yahoo Sports adds that Simmons sustained the injury during Kings practice on Oct. 18 and specifies it as his right Achilles. Across coverage, Simmons is described as recently signed to a one-year deal with the Kings, with ESPN and CBS Sports noting expectations around his participation going forward.
