Ben Simmons and the longing for a sporting resurrection with the Clippers

Opportunities are running out for Ben Simmons, and all the credit he earned during his early years in the NBA has dwindled. Nevertheless, remnants remain of that dominant defensive player capable of shifting dynamics, which was once seen in the Sixers and now emerges sporadically. After a positive stint with the Nets, the signing with Los Angeles Clippers could be the final blow or the catapult to glory.

Most had written him off long ago, when his undisciplined behavior, controversies, and lack of progress led to his departure from Philadelphia 76ers. When coupled with a cluster of difficult-to-manage injuries and the poor reputation he had garnered, it's logical to understand why a former All-Star has become a full-blown meme, a man subject to constant criticism and mockery. However, Los Angeles Clippers have placed their trust in him, and his debut has been more than promising.

Now that he has regained good physical form, this change of scenery could bode well for a player who is aware that the team has invested in him and that he will have a lot of responsibility in the Lakers' quest to reach the postseason in the best possible shape. One should never count out a team with Kawhi and Harden, with Ben Simmons assuming a very specific role for which he remains highly capable. Will there be a sports resurrection by one of the most controversial players of recent times?
