NBA star Ben Simmons’ future has taken a fresh twist after the Brooklyn Nets point guard mutually split from LeBron James ’ agency, Klutch Sports, according to reports.
Klutch Sports had been representing Simmons since he came into the NBA as the No1 pick in 2016. The sports agency even helped negotiate his five-year $177million contract extension in 2019.
According to ESPN sources, Simmons “needed a fresh start”. Simmons and Klutch have worked together through his highs and lows. During his five-and-a-half seasons with the 76ers, Simmons was a three-time All-Star and averaged 16.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 1.7 steals in 194 games from 2018-19 to 2020-21.
