Ben Simmons tells The Post how he’s putting Nets calamity behind him
Los Angeles air and sunshine must be healing. Ben Simmons is finally at peace.
Now with the Clippers, he returned and played in New York — for the team’s clash against the Knicks at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night — for the first time since he was bought out of his contract and waived by the Nets.
“Feels like home, honestly,” Simmons told The Post about the Clippers. “I never really felt like New York was home for me. Being in LA, I feel like me as a person, it’s my kind of scenery or environment to be in. I think I thrive in situations like that. It was a blessing and a great experience to be in New York and experience being in New York City, there’s no city in the world like it. But I’m happy where I’m at, I love being in LA.”
Simmons, still just 28, agreed to have his contract bought out in February and subsequently signed with the Clippers to end his disastrous tenure in Brooklyn.
