Three years ago, Ben Simmons was traded to the Nets in exchange for James Harden in the blockbuster deal of the 2022 NBA trade deadline.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now, the two are teammates in Hollywood after Simmons signed with the Clippers after he was bought out by the Nets last weekend. <\/p>\n
But the newest member of the Clippers had no interest in discussing the full-circle nature of the whole saga.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\tBen Simmons was asked about getting to play alongside James Harden after being traded to Brooklyn for him”I’m a competitor. I just want to compete. I don’t know all the bulls\u2013t that is said online. That doesn’t come from me. I want to compete and I’m here to do that” pic.twitter.com\/ODiFQIEB4X\u2014 Nets Videos (@SNYNets) February 12, 2025 <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a competitor. I just want to compete,\u201d Simmons said Tuesday. \u201cI don\u2019t know all the bulls\u2013t that is said online. That doesn\u2019t come from me. I want to compete and I\u2019m here to do that. To play alongside some of these great players is gonna be great. I think everyone is just going to push each other to be better. They expect greatness, so that\u2019s my expectation coming to the Clippers.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Simmons, 28, has been hampered by injuries during the course of his career, and various health issues plagued his tenure with the Nets following the trade with the Sixers in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Injuries have been such an issue that Simmons hasn\u2019t played more than 60 games in a season since his second year in the NBA.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Last season, he appeared in just 15 contests for the Nets.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Simmons played in 33 games this year and averaged 6.2 points, 6.9 assists and 5.2 rebounds in 25 minutes per game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The guard told reporters Tuesday the Clippers made him feel \u201cwanted.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think just speaking to Ty Lue, everyone was just very transparent,\u201d Simmons said. \u201cThey know what I\u2019m capable of and what they expect from me\u2026 I think it\u2019s easier when teams are transparent and understand what you are, what you need, how they can help, and how I can help them. So for me, I feel comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Clippers will be back in action Wednesday when they host the Grizzlies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
