Former Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons is set to meet with multiple teams following his buyout, including the Houston Rockets.

The Brooklyn Nets and Ben Simmons are working toward a contract buyout, a league source said Friday, and Simmons will meet with the Cleveland Cavaliers, LA Clippers and Houston Rockets as he decides on his next destination. ESPN was first to report news of the buyout.
