Ben Simmons is a 25-year-old Australian basketball player who currently plays for the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA as a point guard. Simmons stands at about 6ft 11 inches and weighs around 109 kg.

Simmons was born in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia on 20th July 1996. The basketball player was born to Dave and Julie Simmons. He started his high school career in Australia at the Box Hill Senior Secondary College but moved to Florida and attended Montverde Academy to finish his high school.

Simmons then went to join the Louisiana State University in 2015 and started playing basketball for the LSU Tigers. However, he played college basketball for only one season before declaring himself for the NBA drafts in 2016. Simmons was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers as their 1st round 1st pick. However, he wasn’t able to play until a year later because of an injury he suffered in the training camp ahead of the 2016-17 season.

Simmons played for the 76ers for nearly six years before he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets in February 2022. During his time at the 76ers, Simmons was named as the NBA Rookie of the Year and became a three-time NBA All-Star. The 25-year-old will certainly look to live up to his potential under his new team the Brooklyn Nets where he will be joined by the legends of the game like Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.
