What happened
ESPN's Shams Charania reported that Kings guard Ben Simmons suffered a significant injury at Sunday practice and may be out for the season.
Charania said Simmons is believed to have torn his Achilles tendon, though the diagnosis is still not fully confirmed, and he had signed a one-year deal with Sacramento last month.
If the report is confirmed, Sacramento would lose a rotation guard before the season starts, and his availability remains uncertain until more medical detail is released. That also leaves his role with the Kings unclear after a recent offseason signing.
