Ben Simmons Doubtful for Nets with Low Back Injury
Ben Simmons is dealing with a low back injury and is doubtful to play for the Brooklyn Nets. This issue has kept him off the court recently, adding to his previous calf problems. Simmons’ status remains uncertain as he continues to recover.
What It Means
Simmons’ injury affects the Brooklyn Nets as they look to maintain their competitive edge. This season, he has averaged 5.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.9 assists per game. His shooting percentage stands at 54.3%, though he hasn’t made any three-pointers.
The absence of Simmons means more responsibility on D’Angelo Russell and Reece Beekman in the point guard position. Russell averages 12.4 points per game and plays about 26 minutes per game, while Beekman scores 2.1 points in roughly seven minutes of playtime.
