For four years now, basketball fans have been waiting for a glimpse of the old Ben Simmons—the versatile two-way guard who set the NBA alight around the start of the decade, inviting comparisons to legendary Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James.

Ben Simmons opened a new chapter with the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday, practicing with the team for the first time after being waived by the Brooklyn Nets last weekend. The No. 1 pick in the 2016 draft is expected to make his debut either Wednesday at home against Memphis or Thursday at Utah.

The versatile but injury-prone wing sees his role as a defender and someone who can push the pace, and Clippers coach Tyronn Lue believes he is a unique talent.
