Ben Simmons has a new three-year shoe deal with Nike, according to Simmons’ agent Rich Paul, after the former All-Star’s advanced negotiations with New Balance did not result in a deal. League sources say New Balance got well down the line toward signing Simmons earlier this season — even though he was not playing at the time for Philadelphia and has still yet to play for Brooklyn since the Nets acquired him on Feb. 10 — but couldn’t convince the 25-year-old to leave his preferred brand.
