Ben Simmons has met with Patty Mills at Los Angeles Clippers while seeking to rekindle his career in the NBA in a new franchise.
Simmons officially joined the clippers on Monday (local time), two days after the Brooklyn Nets agreed to buy their contract and renounce the shipowner.
The clippers did not reveal terms of the Australian agreement.
Simmons was cut by Brooklyn, ending a disappointing period with the club that began when the 2021-22 season sat after being changed by James Harden.
The Nets expected Simmons to complement Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, demonstrating the final piece in a NBA championship puzzle.
But Simmons, in the final season of a five -year agreement worth $ US177.2 million, fought with recurring back injuries and is not yet up to the potential reflected by its selection with the first general selection in the Draft of the Draft of 2016.

Simmons is markedly linked to Compatriot Mills, with whom he shared a locker room in the networks during 2021-22 and 2022-23.
With the Nets, Simmons appeared in 90 games (69 openings) and averaged 6.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists for 25.4 minutes per game.
The three-time All-Star and former rookie of the year will give additional help to Los Angeles in the shipowner.
However, Simmons's numbers in Brooklyn were left behind those who endured the 76ers philadelphia.
In 275 games with the Sixers, he averaged 15.9 points, 8.1 rebounds and 7.7 assists.
Two complete seasons were lost with the Sixers: 2016-17 due to an injury, and 2021-22 due to a retention and a back injury.
Last week, Boomers Mills captain was changed from Utah Jazz to the clippers.
Mills, widely considered the most successful basketball in Australia, is 36 years old and in its 16th NBA season.
