Ben Simmons Ready to Roar for Nets
After playing in just 15 games last season due to a nerve impingement in his lower back, Ben Simmons is poised to make a significant impact for the Brooklyn Nets in the upcoming season.
Nets GM Sean Marks expressed optimism about Simmons' progress during the recent Las Vegas Summer League, stating that the star is "trending in the right direction" and "feels good". This is a promising update for the Nets, who finished last season with a 32-50 record and missed the playoffs.
A Fresh Start for Simmons and the Nets
Simmons' return to form would be a major boost for the Nets, who struggled last season without his presence on the court. In the 15 games he did play, Simmons averaged 6.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 5.7 assists per game while shooting 58.1% from the field. These numbers suggest that Simmons can still be a valuable contributor when healthy.
The upcoming season represents a fresh start for both Simmons and the Nets. Simmons will be looking to prove that he is still one of the best players in the NBA, while the Nets will be hoping to make a playoff run with him in the lineup.
Signs Pointing to a Healthy Simmons
All indications suggest that Simmons will be at 100% next season. He has been working hard on his rehab and prep work in Miami, and he is said to be feeling good. The Nets and their fans will be eagerly awaiting his return to the court.
