Ben Simmons has been waived by the Brooklyn Nets after the team agreed to a buyout with the last remaining link to a failed era of building around All-Stars. The No. 1 pick in the 2016 draft was not with the Nets for their victory over the Miami Heat on Friday night as the sides worked on completing the deal.

The former All-Star forward, who has suffered a string of injuries while in Brooklyn, is expected to meet with the Clippers and Cavaliers.

Simmons, who signed a five-year, $177 million deal with the 76ers in 2019, will reportedly join the Los Angeles Clippers, where Harden plays.
