Ben Simmons Out for Brooklyn Nets with Calf Injury
Ben Simmons is dealing with left calf soreness and will not take the court for the Brooklyn Nets. The team announced that he is out due to this injury, which has been a recurring issue for him recently.
What It Means
For Ben Simmons, this injury means more time off the court. He has been struggling with his performance this season, averaging 5.9 points per game and 6.9 assists per game. His absence could affect his rhythm and stats further as he recovers.
The Brooklyn Nets will need to adjust their lineup without Simmons. D’Angelo Russell, who averages 12.4 points per game, will likely see more time on the floor. Reece Beekman may also get additional minutes as a backup point guard during Simmons’ recovery.
