Nuggets and 76ers Eye Anfernee Simons as Celtics Consider Bench Role

"The 76ers and Nuggets have expressed interest in Anfernee Simons," said Sam Amico. The Celtics flipped Jrue Holiday for Simons to dump cash after Jayson Tatum's injury derailed championship hopes, saving $40 million in luxury tax in 2025-26. They remain open to retaining Simons in a bench role if a trade doesn't work out, with Payton Pritchard pegged to start.
