Free-agent guard/forward Ben Simmons has received interest from several NBA teams, including one Western Conference team that offered a training-camp invite, according to Andscape's Marc J. Spears. Simmons is also open to signing a veteran-minimum contract as he works toward an NBA return and a potential run with Australia at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. The 30-year-old is expected to participate in a player-led Australian national team mini-camp in Melbourne with "zero restrictions" after taking last season off to get healthy. Simmons last played in 2024-25, averaging 5.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 5.6 assists in 22.0 minutes across 51 games with Brooklyn and the Clippers. His fantasy value depends entirely on landing spot, but assists, rebounds, and defensive stats would be the only categories to track.

The Los Angeles Clippers signed guard Yuki Kawamura to an Exhibit 10 contract, giving him another training camp opportunity after two limited NBA seasons. The 5-foot-8 guard spent last season with the Chicago Bulls, appearing in 18 games while averaging 3.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 2.6 assists in 11.6 minutes on 32.7 percent shooting. Kawamura also played for Indiana in Las Vegas Summer League, including a 12-assist outing against New Orleans. The path to a roster spot remains narrow, as the Clippers already have all three two-way slots filled. Kawamura's passing keeps him interesting organizational depth, but there is no fantasy value to chase.

Free-agent forward Trendon Watford has drawn interest from Olympiacos, Valencia, and Baskonia, though the NBA remains his reported priority, according to Matteo Andreani. BasketNews' Donatas Urbonas previously reported that Watford was nearing a move to Valencia, but the former 76ers forward pushed back on social media and said the report was false. Philadelphia declined Watford's $2.8 million team option in late June after he averaged 6.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.5 assists across 53 games last season. Until he lands an NBA deal, there is no fantasy angle to chase.

Miami Heat guard Davion Mitchell has spent the offseason on a demanding workout plan, including sunrise track sessions and overseas training in Greece and Spain, according to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald. The former ninth overall pick trimmed down to sharpen his defense and enters 2026-27 as Miami's starting point guard in the final season of his two-year, $24 million deal. Mitchell averaged 9.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 6.5 assists, and 1.0 steals while shooting 49.0 percent from the field and 39.5 percent from three last season. The scoring ceiling is limited with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo driving the offense, but Mitchell's assists, efficiency, and steals give him a useful fantasy floor.
