Ben Simmons has not fallen off the NBA radar completely just yet.
Simmons on Sunday teased an NBA comeback with an Instagram post of him looking completely jacked during a workout on the hardwood. While it’s long been his M.O. to look like an all-world player on the practice court, teams reportedly remain interested in his services.
According to ESPN’s Marc J. Spears, there are “several” NBA teams that “have expressed interest” in Simmons ahead of the 2026-27 season. The 30-year-old point forward is reportedly “open” to signing a minimum deal. One Western Conference team reportedly made a non-guaranteed offer to Simmons for minicamp.
Simmons’ NBA prospects remain speculative rather than tangible. But the three-time All-Star has a very real opportunity with the Australian men’s basketball team. Per Spears, Simmons is slated to participate in a player-led minicamp with the Boomers beginning Monday in Melbourne.
Simmons, who has been hampered by numerous injuries over the past few seasons, is said to have “zero restrictions” on his health heading into the camp.
Simmons sat out the entire 2025-26 season while recuperating from his injuries. He made the most of his time off the court by winning a much wetter kind of championship.
The former No. 1 overall pick has been linked to a reunion with the Philadelphia 76ers. While the team’s current roster composition may prevent that from happening, Simmons sparked even more rumors with a recent LeBron James-themed post.
