Although he has missed a lot of time through the years, Ben Simmons has been healthy for the Brooklyn Nets to begin the 2023-24 season. So far, the former three-time All-Star has played well and Simmons’ impact has been felt as a tripe-double-like threat due to his rebounding and passing abilities. On Wednesday night, the […]

However, high ankle sprains typically take multiple weeks, if not months, […]

The Brooklyn Nets are currently without Cam Johnson, who is nursing a left calf strain, but another Cam has stepped up in the Team USA sharpshooter’s absence.
