## Resource

Ben Simmons is back in the NBA, signing a $3.5M deal with the Sacramento Kings after a year away — turning down Golden State and New York to rebuild his game. The Warriors, who coveted his playmaking and defense, may have passed because his lack of shooting could’ve clashed with Draymond Green and hurt their shooting-focused roster. For Simmons, the Kings offer space and time to rediscover himself — a bold move that reshapes the league’s free agency chessboard.
