Ben Simmons has had another tumultuous season, as he has struggled to find consistency in the Nets rotation. Off the court, meanwhile, the forward has made a significant career choice.
ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne, Simmons and his agency, Klutch Sports, have decided to mutually part ways. Simmons first signed with Klutch before entering the 2016 draft and has been with the agency for his entire NBA career. A source told Shelburne that Simmons needed a “fresh start” moving forward.
Early in his career, Simmons appeared on the verge of stardom, winning NBA’s Rookie of the Year award and making three All-Star games between 2018 and ’21. That included signing a five-year, $177 million extension with the Sixers in 2019, a deal that Klutch negotiated.
