Ben Simmons Acquires Controlling Stake in Professional Fishing Team Amid NBA Free Agency

NBA free agent Ben Simmons, 29, has purchased a controlling stake in the South Florida Sails Angling Club, a professional sports fishing team. The three-time NBA All-Star, who played 51 games for the Nets and Clippers last season, was unable to secure an NBA contract for the current season but remains hopeful for a return. Simmons, who developed a love for fishing in Australia, stated his belief in investing in passions. He joins other notable investors in the 16-team Sports Fishing Championship, a league with 16 annual tournaments.
