NEW YORK, NY \u2014 The Knicks<\/a> enter camp with roster questions. A reserve guard remains a priority. That search has drawn Ben Simmons<\/a> into focus.<\/p>\n

Knicks Set To Resolve Guard Question As Ben Simmons Confusion Lingers<\/h2>\n

Reports conflict. Marc Stein wrote<\/a> Simmons turned down a one-year Knicks deal. Ian Begley of SNY refuted it, saying no formal offer was ever made. Both cited conversations with Simmons\u2019 camp, though his former agent no longer represents him. The truth sits somewhere in the middle.<\/p>\n

\n

Knicks have had dialogue with free agent Ben Simmons over the course of the offseason and certainly have had interest in him, but club has never made a formal offer to Simmons, per league sources. Landry Shamet, Malcolm Brogdon among those on NYK radar for its lone roster spot<\/p>\n
