Boston Celtics Reportedly Interested In 3x NBA All-Star

Ben Simmons is currently a free agent after spending the 2024-25 season with the LA Clippers and Brooklyn Nets.

The former LSU star had averages of 5.0 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.6 assists per contest while shooting 52.0% from the field in 51 games.

Despite free agency opening up nearly a month ago, Simmons is still available to sign with any team in the league.

Recently, Marc Stein of The Stein Line reported that the Boston Celtics are among the teams with an interest in Simmons.

Simmons was the first pick in the 2016 NBA Draft.

At one point, he was among the best guard/forwards in the league when he made three All-Star Games with the Philadelphia 76ers.
