Ben Simmons is set to participate fully in a private minicamp for the Australian men's basketball team in Melbourne, starting Monday. The free agent forward, who has faced injuries and did not play in the last NBA season, is looking to make a comeback and has expressed interest in signing a minimum contract with an NBA team.
Simmons, a native of Melbourne, aims to represent Australia in the 2028 Olympics. He has previously played for the national team but missed the last three Olympic Games despite being a top prospect.
Watch for Simmons' performance at the minicamp as it could influence NBA teams' decisions ahead of the upcoming season. His commitment to the Boomers may also reignite interest in his potential, especially with the 2028 Olympics on the horizon.
