Ben Simmons has opened a new chapter with the Los Angeles Clippers, practicing with the team for the first time after being waived by the Brooklyn Nets.
The versatile but injury-prone wing sees his role as a defender and someone who can push the pace, and Clippers coach Tyronn Lue believes he is a unique talent.
The Los Angeles Clippers have signed Ben Simmons, adding a former No. 1 overall pick who struggled to stay healthy and productive during 2 1/2 seasons with the Brooklyn Nets.
The three-time All-Star and 2018 NBA Rookie of the Year cleared waivers over the weekend after the Nets reached a buyout deal that made him a free agent.
