When Ben Simmons has been healthy for the Brooklyn Nets, he’s actually been quite productive this year. In six total games, Simmons has proved his worth as a facilitator nd playmaker, averaging 6.5 points, 10.9 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game. From bringing defensive intensity to being a triple-double-like threat every night, the former All-Star […]

The Brooklyn Nets have a chance to be a sleeper team in the Eastern Conference, but they have been without one of their key offensive contributors over the last few weeks.

When things feel like they can’t get any worse for the Brooklyn Nets on the injury front, they lose Cam Thomas, their leading scorer and the top story of their young 2023-24 campaign.

The Brooklyn Nets were in danger of falling to 3-5 to open the year while down three starters in Nic Claxton, Cam Johnson and Ben Simmons Wednesday vs. the Los Angeles Clippers.

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, […]

However, the Nets are all too familiar with […]

The already shorthanded Brooklyn Nets ruled out Ben Simmons Saturday against the Boston Celtics on the back end of a back-to-back. Brooklyn labeled Simmons’ status as “back – injury maintenance”.
