Does Reese Need His "Black Card" Taken? + Ben Simmons’ Comeback, Caitlin Clark Controversy: What’s Really Going On?
Reese, Pam and Alex discuss Ben Simmons’ potential NBA comeback and whether teams should take a chance on the former All-Star, as well as Caitlin Clark’s recent controversies, including her rescinded technical foul and the heated play involving A’ja Wilson.
Ben Simmons is looking to make an NBA comeback after missing the entire 2025–26 season because of back and other injuries. The former No. 1 overall pick is reportedly healthy and recently participated in an Australian national-team mini-camp without restrictions. Several NBA teams have shown interest, and one Western Conference team has reportedly offered him a non-guaranteed contract. The biggest question now is whether he can stay healthy and return to the form that made him a three-time All-Star. After appearing in just 18 games for the Clippers in 2024–25, Simmons is hoping to prove he can still contribute at the NBA level. Should teams want Simmons?
Caitlin Clark has been at the center of two recent controversial moments. Clark received her eighth technical foul of the season against the Chicago Sky after making contact with an official, which initially put her in line for a one-game suspension. However, the WNBA later rescinded the technical, meaning Clark will not miss a game. Separately, during a game against A’ja Wilson and the Las Vegas Aces, Clark was involved in a controversial play where Wilson appeared to make contact with her while they were battling for a loose ball. The contact was not called a foul, but the play sparked plenty of debate among fans and analysts over whether Wilson pushed Clark. What happened?
Evidently, Reese has not watched quite a few Black movies. Does Reese need his "Black card" revoked?
