Just a few seasons ago, nobody in the basketball community ever imagined Ben Simmons playing for a third Atlantic Division squad.

Per SNY’s Ian Begley, the Knicks are still in the mix for free agent guard/forward Ben Simmons. According to Begley, New York cannot exceed $207.8 million in total salary, giving them enough space to sign a veteran to a minimum deal, and a rookie free agent.

Former Philadelphia 76ers star Ben Simmons is not the All-NBA player he once was, but he can still be a helpful player. Back injuries have robbed him of his athletic ability and he is not the same player he was while helping the Sixers morph into contenders.
