Ben Simmons is officially on the trade block as he hit free agency, as the Los Angeles Clippers’ season has come to an end.
It’s been a tough road for the former No. 1 pick since his public fallout with the Philadelphia 76ers. Many fans remember how he struggled after that heartbreaking loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
And unfortunately, injuries have kept him off the court more than anyone would like.
Despite what feels like a rollercoaster career, Simmons is still only in his late 20s and has plenty of talent. There’s a good chance that a team will take a chance on him this offseason, and right now, the Clippers are a frontrunner, with +375 odds at Bovada.
