The group can be heard speaking about Simmons, with someone referring to him as being “cringe,” before another person interjects, “He’s lucky he’s so fine.”
The commentary about Simmons’ attractiveness continued, with a reporter saying, “He’s a good-looking dude,” adding, “I didn’t notice, like, his skin is so smooth. I was like, damn, no tattoos?”
Simmons signed with the Kings earlier this month after sitting out the entire 2025-26 season to fully recover from his lingering injuries.

“Zach’s cute, but his personality fucking annoys me,” a person said. “He just seems like he’s hella like a prick.”
