Yahoo Sports reports that Ben Simmons, the former top pick who signed with the Sacramento Kings this offseason, suffered a torn Achilles tendon during practice on Sunday. The injury, first reported by ESPN's Shams Charania, is suspected to be season-ending, marking another cruel setback in a career already defined by stops and starts. Simmons, whose last meaningful NBA run came with the Brooklyn Nets, had been attempting yet another comeback after years of back and knee issues. The 2020 champion with the Lakers reference in the headline appears to point toward a former teammate's reaction, though the excerpt cuts short before revealing the four-word message itself.
