You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Ben Simmons is done before he even got started. The Sacramento Kings confirmed Sunday that the veteran guard has torn his right Achilles tendon and will undergo surgery, ending his season before a single game is played. Simmons had signed a one-year deal just weeks ago after spending a year away from the league working to rebuild his body and his career. Brutal timing, brutal blow.
Shifting to the hardwood, a scare out of Golden State today but the news is good. Stephen Curry tweaked his right ankle during the Warriors' open practice in San Francisco and left early, sending the Bay Area into a brief panic. Head coach Steve Kerr confirmed the knee was not involved and that Curry is, quote, fine. He is expected to be ready for the Warriors' season opener this week. Crisis averted.
And in the NFL, Kansas City keeps rolling. The Chiefs remained unbeaten Sunday while the Los Angeles Chargers are still searching for their first win of the season, a brutal contrast in a division that is shaping up to be very one-sided, very fast. Meanwhile Buffalo moved to five and one, holding off Las Vegas thirty three to thirty, staying right in the thick of the AFC conversation.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
