The Los Angeles Clippers signed Ben Simmons on Monday, two days after the Brooklyn Nets agreed to buy out his contract and waived the point guard. The Clippers did not announce terms of his agreement.

The Clippers added the athletic 6-foot-10 guard, who when not injured is an excellent defender and creator, although he lacks scoring touch from deep.

The Los Angeles Clippers have signed Ben Simmons, adding a former No. 1 overall pick who struggled to stay healthy and productive during 2 1/2 seasons with the Brooklyn Nets.
