Now, though, Simmons is an unrestricted free agent with interest from multiple teams. The Boston Celtics, Phoenix Suns, Sacramento Kings and New York Knicks are among the teams interested in Simmons, per Marc Stein, as teams look to fill out point guard depth going into next season.

Last offseason, the Knicks acquired former Phoenix Suns and Nets star Mikal Bridges in a blockbuster deal sending five first-round picks across the bridge to Brooklyn.

Four teams have emerged as suitors for Ben Simmons during the free agency period, including Phoenix, Boston, New York, and Sacramento.
