Ian Begley states that the Knicks never made a formal offer to Ben Simmons. The Celtics' interest in him may have also dissipated.
Earlier this summer, the Boston Celtics reportedly registered interest in Ben Simmons. That came courtesy of veteran NBA insider Marc Stein in his Substack, the Stein Line.
The New York Knicks were another team he cited as doing the same with the 29-year-old free agent. With training camp now on the horizon, Stein is now reporting that the latter franchise extended an offer to him.
