Simmons suffered a season-ending right Achilles tear during practice Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Simmons amassed 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 26 minutes in Friday's 126-97 preseason loss to the Spurs.
Simmons drew the start in the finale after scoring seven points in nine minutes off the bench in his only other appearance. The No. 1 overall pick in 2016 sat out all of 2025-26 before signing a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Kings in September, and he's expected to back up Darius Acuff at point guard.

The 30-year-old has appeared in 383 regular-season games for the 76ers, Nets and Clippers throughout his career, averaging 13.1 points, 7.4 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.5 steals over 31.1 minutes per contest.
