Simmons' Achilles Tear Ends Kings Comeback; Curry Ankle Sprain, Thunder Extension Lead Preseason News

Ben Simmons' attempted NBA comeback ended abruptly after he tore his right Achilles tendon during a Sacramento Kings practice on Sunday, October 18. The 30-year-old guard will undergo surgery and miss the entire 2026-27 season, just days before the regular season opener. Simmons had signed a veteran minimum contract in September after sitting out the previous campaign to recover from back and mental health issues. He was averaging 10.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.0 assists in two preseason games and was expected to start. The injury forces Kings coach Doug Christie to scramble for a replacement. In other news, Stephen Curry suffered a tweaked ankle during a Golden State Warriors practice but is expected to play. The Oklahoma City Thunder locked up guard Cason Wallace with a five-year, $139 million extension.

Cade Cunningham Out Indefinitely After Collapsed Lung

Detroit star Cade Cunningham has been diagnosed with a left pneumothorax (collapsed lung) and will be reevaluated in two weeks, signaling an extended absence. The Pistons confirmed the diagnosis after Shams Charania first reported the issue, with speculation that return timing could mirror CJ McCollum’s 2021-22 recovery but remaining unclear. Detroit, holding a solid lead in the East, can survive the regular season without him, but missing games could jeopardize 65-game eligibility for awards and will push more responsibility to guards like Marcus Sasser, Daniss Jenkins, and Caris LeVert as the team pursues a deep playoff run.
