Ben Simmons, Raptors Report Surfaces After Clippers News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With the depature of Masai Ujiri, the Toronto Raptors now find themselves in the midst of a decisive offseason, one that could shape the next era of the franchise.

Advertisement This report comes after the news that Simmons is not expected back with the Clippers. The Athletic's Law Murray recently reported that Los Angeles does not expect him to return unless he signs at a low number. 'He's a free agent. He eventually faded out of the rotation completely for the Clippers. I don't expect him to be back,' said Murray. Toronto's interest in Simmons could end up being a low-risk, high-upside play if he's willing to accept a minimum deal and manages to stay heathy. His size, passing ability, and defensive versatility could provide depth behind their developing backcourt. But injury history and consistency concerns may still temper the team's enthusiasm, depending on his asking price and the Raptors' cap positioning.
