It is unclear whether Ben Simmons wants to play basketball during the 2025–26 season. If he does, he'll likely be in the market for new representation after his handling of interest from the Knicks.
NBA insider Marc Stein reported Monday that Simmons was recently dropped by agent Bernie Lee as he considers his basketball future. According to Stefan Bondy of the New York Post, that decision came after Simmons rejected New York's veteran minimum offer of just over $3 million. Bondy says league sources told him that an official offer was not made to Simmons, but confirms Stein's reporting on Lee's decision, adding that it came "after the point guard sent signals that he wasn’t interested in whatever came from his agent’s conversations with the Knicks."
