by Ben Simmons is ready for a new chance.
Now on the other side of the country after a very tumultuous piece in his career, the new Los Angeles Clippers Point Guard is preparing for his debut with what his third team will be in the competition. The clippers closed a deal with Simmons, who reached a buy -out last week with the Brooklyn Nets.
“Making the decision to get here, I felt sought,” Simmons said, via the Los Angeles Times. “That is something you want to feel when you go to work.”
Simmons was the number 1 general choice of LSU in the NBA design of 2016, but he never really developed into the superstar that many expected he would ever land in the competition. He has tackled various injuries and then from the 2021-22 campaign due to injuries, problems with mental health and a trade question. That caused a very chaotic piece with the 76 people, who eventually sent him to Brooklyn.
However, Simmons struggled to stay on the field with the nets and he went down with a back injury that eventually needed surgery. He also became an operation on his back last season. He never played in more than 42 games in his three seasons with the team.
However, Simmons said that he is now healthy and ready to leave that behind.
‘[It’s] Giving someone a new start, “said Clippers coach Ty Lue, via the Los Angeles Times. “It is always good to get a new start and start again. Don’t worry about the past and what you have done in the past. Go to a new place where you know you are welcome. “
This season Simmons has an average of 6.2 points and 6.9 assists in 33 games with the nets, while it is in and out of the line up the entire season. He will now collaborate with the clippers, who have a record of 29-23 and compete for a play-off place in the Western Conference with Kawhi Leonard and James Harden in front.
The 28-year-old said that he has no injuries on his way to the debut of his clippers, when that may be. But given its history, the team will certainly follow his health in the future and be careful while he sucks him up. He was also not made available for back-to-back nights.
Regardless of how it goes or how great he plays a role with the team, Simmons is just excited to get a chance to continue with the turbulence that came up with the time with both the 76 people and the nets.
“I just want to compete, regardless of all bulls *** said online,” Simmons said, via the Los Angeles Times. “I am here to do that and to play in addition to some of these great players … everyone will just push each other to get better and to expect greatness.”
