One of the biggest questions facing the Brooklyn Nets after the James Harden trade that brought in Ben Simmons involves Simmons himself. When will Ben Simmons return to the court? The disgruntled guard didn't play a single minute for the Philadelphia 76ers this year. Simmons' return received a key update after the Harden trade when it was revealed that he would be joining the team on the road for their upcoming game against the Miami Heat. Amid talk about Simmons' return, Nets general manager Sean Marks gave an honest admission on the matter when speaking to the media Friday.

Nets GM Sean Marks is basically pumping the brakes on the talk of Ben Simmons' return after the James Harden trade. Not only is Simmons reportedly still working on his mental health, but the talented guard will need “a few practices” as a measuring stick for the Nets to “see where he is physically.”

That's why Marks is saying it's too soon to tell when Simmons will return following the Harden trade blockbuster. It's certainly a positive sign that the former Sixers guard will be with the team on the road, a chance for him to build chemistry off the court with his new teammates.

However, the on-the-court chemistry will have to be put on hold for now after these comments from Sean Marks.
