Scores 21 off bench Simons logged 21 points (6-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes of Sunday's 138-107 preseason win over Cleveland.

Impact Jaylen Brown (rest) and Sam Hauser (rest) moved back into the starting unit Sunday which pushed Simons to the bench, but that certainly didn't slow him down. Simons led the team in shot attempts and caught fire from beyond the arc, indicating that his role as a potential sixth man can make him quite appealing in fantasy formats.

Impact Simons turned in 18 points, three assists and two rebounds in 26 minutes in a starting role Friday against the Raptors, but he will shift to a bench role Sunday with Jaylen Brown (rest) and Sam Hauser (rest) back in the starting five. Simons should still see plenty of run.

Impact Simons' absence from the first unit comes as a bit of a surprise, as the Celtics' major offseason acquisition was a shoo-in to start at the shooting guard spot to start the campaign. Still, it's the preseason, so Wednesday's lineup is far from a guarantee to be replicated on opening night. Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Sam Houser, Chris Boucher and Xavier Tillman make up the starting five Wednesday.

Healthy for start of training camp Simons (forearm) appears to have no limitations at training camp, Souichi Terada of The Springfield Republican reports.

Impact Simons missed the tail end of the 2024-25 regular season with Portland due to a forearm injury, but he looks ready to open Celtics camp with a clean bill of health. The 26-year-old sharpshooter is expected to begin the new year in a key role in Boston's backcourt, although his expiring contract will likely keep his name swirling around the rumor mill for a potential trade throughout the campaign. Following last season's All-Star break, Simons averaged 21.0 points, 4.4 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 3.2 three-pointers in 33.6 minutes per game across 19 outings.
