Kings' Ben Simmons: Expected to start Opening Night
Simmons is expected to remain in Sacramento's starting lineup alongside rookie guard Darius Acuff for the Oct. 21 regular-season opener against the Clippers, Marc J. Spears of Andscape reports.
Simmons is aiming to play all 82 games this season after struggling to stay healthy in recent years. The veteran last appeared in more than 51 games during the 2020-21 campaign, when he played 58 contests for Philadelphia. His projected starting role alongside Acuff is encouraging for his fantasy outlook, particularly given his playmaking and rebounding ability, though his durability remains a significant concern.

Simmons drew strong praise from coach Doug Christie on Thursday, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.
Christie has had nothing but positive things to say about Simmons so far in camp. "Nothing I read was true," said Christie. "I really enjoy being around the kid. He speaks. He enjoys basketball. He loves coaching, and he's special." Simmons is coming off a missed 2025-26 season, though he appears to be off to a strong start with his new squad.
