Sacramento Kings guard Ben Simmons has described himself as a "unicorn" and stated "I'm not a normal guy" in comments reported ahead of the 2026-27 NBA season. The remarks come as Simmons prepares for his first full campaign with the Kings after joining the franchise.

The 28-year-old Australian, a three-time All-Star with the Philadelphia 76ers before injury and trade complications, appeared in a preseason game against the Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena on October 8. Simmons wore number 25 for Sacramento in the exhibition contest.

Simmons' self-assessment highlights his unique combination of size, playmaking, and defensive versatility at 6-foot-10. The former number one overall pick aims to rediscover his All-NBA form after limited playing time over recent seasons due to back and knee issues.
