Ben Simmons remains unsigned with just over a month until the 2025-26 season, drawing interest from the Knicks and several other teams, while he weighs whether to play again. The 29-year-old has a storied peak but a brutal injury stretch that kept him out for long spells, making his fantasy upside a true health lottery. If the Knicks or any bidder signs him, his fantasy value hinges on role and minutes, not just raw stats, given his elite defense and playmaking but limited scoring.

Rumors have tied Boston, Phoenix and Sacramento to him, with Denver brushing him off in playoffs-era chatter. The Clippers are still the most recent stop after a February buyout, yet nothing is guaranteed. Fantasy managers should monitor landing spots, cap space, and how each team would use him off the ball and in driving creating lines, since a secure role could unlock sporadic but impactful stat lines.
