Simmons registered 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals in 27 minutes during Thursday's 120-116 overtime victory over the Jazz. Simmons made an immediate impact off Los Angeles' bench in his team debut, and his 12 points matched his third-highest scoring output of the season. It's unknown if the 28-year-old former All-Star will be cleared to play in both legs of back-to-back sets down the stretch of the campaign, which could continue to hamper his fantasy stock. However, it initially appears that Simmons will play a significant role for the Clippers moving forward.

Ben Simmons Latest News
Fills box score in team debut

Simmons registered 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals in 27 minutes during Thursday's 120-116 overtime victory over the Jazz. Simmons made an immediate impact off Los Angeles' bench in his team debut, and his 12 points matched his third-highest scoring output of the season. It's unknown if the 28-year-old former All-Star will be cleared to play in both legs of back-to-back sets down the stretch of the campaign, which could continue to hamper his fantasy stock. However, it initially appears that Simmons will play a significant role for the Clippers moving forward.
Set to debut against Utah

Simmons (conditioning) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game versus the Jazz. Simmons is set to make his Clippers debut Thursday after sitting out the team's previous contest due to a return to competition reconditioning. While Simmons' role in Los Angeles is yet to be determined, he should factor into the team's forward rotation with Kawhi Leonard (knee) out.
Won't play Wednesday

Simmons is out for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies due to a return to competition reconditioning, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports. Simmons won't be available to make his debut with the Clippers on the first leg of the team's back-to-back Wednesday. However, Simmons hasn't suffered any injury and should be able to return to action for Thursday's matchup with Utah.
Signing with Clippers

Simmons intends to sign with the Clippers, Shams Charania of ESPN reported Saturday. Simmons finalized a contract buyout with the Nets on Friday and will sign with the Clippers after talking with multiple teams. The 2016 first-overall pick has started in 24 of 33 games played this season, but he came off the bench in his last three outings. Simmons will likely have a similar role with the Clippers, serving as a rotational backcourt option behind Derrick Jones and Ivica Zubac. Simmons has averaged 6.2 points, 6.9 assists and 5.2 rebounds over 25.0 minutes per game this season.
Finalizing contract buyout

Simmons is finalizing a contract buyout with the Nets on Friday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Charania relays that once Simmons becomes a free agent, the point guard will meet with the Cavaliers and Clippers, with NBA reporter Chris Haynes adding the Rockets to the mix as well. The 2016 No. 1 overall pick's career started great in Philadelphia, but he was never able to reach his potential as injuries and unaggressive play marred his career, especially after moving to Brooklyn over the last three seasons. If Simmons joins a contender, he'll likely be used as a defensive option off the bench, limiting his overall fantasy value.
Will play Wednesday

Simmons (back) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Wizards. Simmons missed the first leg of Brooklyn's back-to-back set Tuesday against Houston, but he'll likely see his usual workload against the Wizards. Over his last 10 appearances, Simmons averaged 6.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 7.5 assists and 0.6 steals in 26.7 minutes per contest.
Won't play Tuesday

Simmons (injury management) won't play Tuesday against Houston, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports. Simmons will be held out for the first leg of this back-to-back set. Presumably, he'll likely be in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Wizards. D'Angelo Russell, Keon Johnson and Ziaire Williams could see an uptick in minutes Tuesday as a result.
Quiet in return Wednesday

Simmons ended with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 104-83 win over the Hornets. Simmons returned from a five-game absence, playing limited minutes off the bench. Although he has been somewhat healthy this season, Simmons continues to be a frustrating asset. To this point, he has appeared in 31 games, averaging 6.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 7.1 assists and 0.8 steals in 25.3 minutes per game.
Will return against Charlotte

Simmons (back) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports. After missing the last five games with a back issue, Simmons will return to the floor for the Nets for Wednesday's game on the road in Charlotte. The veteran guard may not be the dominant two-way player he once was with the Philadelphia 76ers, but he's put up decent numbers for Brooklyn this season, averaging 6.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 7.1 assists per game, shooting 55.5 percent from the floor.
