Ben Simmons immediately agrees to sign with Clippers after officially getting Nets buyout
NY Post
The Nets agreed to a contract buyout with Ben Simmons, ending his disappointing stay in Brooklyn.
The team requested waivers on Simmons, and the former All-Star is now an unrestricted free agent. It’s uncertain how much money the Nets saved with the buyout.
While Simmons won’t clear waivers until Monday at 5 p.m., he reportedly intends to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers, according to ESPN.
If Simmons does indeed sign with the Clippers, he’ll be playing with the man he was traded for two years ago (James Harden) and would make his Barclays Center return on March 28.
The reception from the Nets crowd may be frosty, but Simmons and his camp were complimentary of the organization.
“Like all things with Brooklyn during Ben’s time there this was handled with the utmost support and class from (general manager) Sean Marks and staff and ownership,” Simmons’ agent Bernie Lee told the Post.
