For 15 months, Ben Simmons disappeared from the basketball court. Now, in an exclusive SceneSports interview from Egypt’s Red Sea town of El Gouna Red Sea, the three-time NBA All-Star has revealed his plans to return. Battling through recurring back injuries, the former first overall draft pick and Rookie of the Year had become defined by one question: would he ever return to the player everyone expected him to become? The answer, according to Simmons, is now clear. While visiting El Gouna, Simmons sat down with SceneSports to discuss the recovery that kept him away from the game, the trip that offered a chance to reset, and why he believes he’s finally ready for an NBA comeback.
