Ben Simmons suggested he plans to play in the NBA again after sitting out the entire 2025-26 season.
The three-time All-Star said he “needed to get away,” indicating the yearlong break was necessary for him to reset. Simmons offered no specific timetable or destination for his comeback but made clear he intends to rejoin the league.
The 27-year-old last appeared in an NBA game during the 2024-25 campaign. He remained under contract but did not log any minutes this past season, fueling speculation about his future until his latest comments.
Details about his training regimen, potential suitors, or medical status were not disclosed. Simmons said more information would be shared “soon,” leaving his next move open as teams prepare for free agency and summer league action.
