Ben Simmons is back! What does this mean for the Sacramento Kings | Bleav In Kings
The Sacramento Kings are entering a new season with plenty to talk about, and Media Day gave us an early look at what this team could become. Mark Haynes breaks down the biggest takeaways from Kings Media Day, including the return of a healthy core, the arrival of Darius Acuff Jr., the team’s emphasis on size, versatility and defense, and what stood out. The biggest storyline? Ben Simmons. After sitting out the entire 2025-26 season, Simmons made it clear that he believes he’s back to the player he once was. He says he feels great, has no limitations and is ready to compete. Simmons even went as far as saying, “I’m there. He’s there. He woke up.” So what does that actually mean for Sacramento? If Simmons is healthy and can consistently bring his size, playmaking and defense, he could have a significant impact on how the Kings play — and potentially on how Darius Acuff Jr. and the rest of the roster are used. Mark breaks down Simmons’ comments, what his return could mean for the Kings, and the biggest questions coming out of Media Day as Sacramento prepares for the 2026-27 season.
