One prediction market prices this story:
- Ben Simmons — resolved “No” on 26 Oct 2026. The market resolves to Yes if Ben Simmons plays in at least one NBA regular-season game during the 2026-27 season. It resolves to No if he does not play in any such games. Readers often mistake the resolution deadline, which is tied to the end of that specific season, rather than the date of any single news event.
