Celtics Fans Upset After Ben Simmons Report originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Former No. 1 pick Ben Simmons is not the player he was when he first came into the NBA in 2016. Hailed as a franchise player before he was even drafted, Simmons has not played at an All-Star level since the 2020-21 season, his last one with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Ben Simmons’ future is uncertain, but he reportedly has a preferred landing spot — and it isn’t the New York Knicks — ahead of the upcoming NBA season.

According to longtime NBA insider Marc Stein, the Celtics are considered to be one of the interested teams looking to sign Ben Simmons.
