NBL champion Damon Lowry has thrown another big Australian name into the mix of players he\u2019d like to see return for the Hungry Jack\u2019s NBL27 Season.<\/p>\n
With the likelihood of Australian basketball legends Joe Ingles and Patty Mills returning home increasing by the week, NBL champion Damon Lowry has thrown another big name into the mix.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe number one overall pick in the Draft\u2026 the three-time NBA All-Star, the dude that made the NBL First Team All Defence twice\u2026 Ben Simmons,\u201d he said on Instagram.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if a healthy Ben Simmons showed up in NBL27?<\/p>\n
\u201cCan you imagine? It would be carnage.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old last played for the Los Angeles Clippers in early 2025, before seemingly taking a break from professional basketball to focus on his health, having fought through significant injuries in recent years.<\/p>\n
Lowery believes that if Simmons is ready to go, there would be no stopping him in the NBL.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho going to guard to Him? Because he could guard everyone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe would win MVP and Defensive Player of the Year in the same year.\u201d<\/p>\n
