Ben Simmons’s burgeoning NBA comeback has been halted after he suffered a torn Achilles during practice just days out from the season-opener.
The Australian had shown promising signs during the Sacramento Kings’ pre-season contests after spending all of last season away from the NBA.
The 30-year-old’s career has been derailed by injuries over the past five years. Prior to his injury issues, Simmons made three NBA All-Star teams and was considered one of the best defensive players in the league.
Simmons signed a one-year deal with the Kings last month.
