NBA: Ben Simmons Is Suffering From Back Pain as He Prepares to Make His Nets Debut
NBA: On February 10, the James Harden-Ben Simmons transaction was completed. Harden took 15 days to make his debut with the Philadelphia 76ers. But Simmons is taking even longer to join the Brooklyn Nets.
There’s a new explanation for the delay now.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Simmons has been struggling with back discomfort throughout his reconditioning process. This apparently suggests he has to strengthen the region even more before he’s ready to play in an NBA game. The discomfort is said to have started when he was ramping up in the previous two weeks.
NBA: Ben Simmons Is Suffering From Back Pain as He Prepares to Make His Nets Debut
The Nets are allegedly treating his back condition as a day-to-day situation. And a routine part of his recuperation, but there is no timeframe for his comeback. Simmons had previously been classified as out due to “return to competition reconditioning.”
NBA: Nets still waiting on Ben Simmons
The problem appears to be significant enough that Simmons’ availability for the Nets’ game against the Philadelphia 76ers. In which he was expected to be the world’s most booed athlete, is now in doubt.
Simmons was never anticipated to suit up for the Nets right away after the trade. Because he hadn’t played a game all season. But it now appears like he might be out for a month.
Simmons arrived in Brooklyn for a shoot-around on Feb. 14, but nothing has occurred since then. He’s also not the only loose ball for the Nets, who still have Kevin Durant out with an injured MCL. And a point guard who can’t play at home, though both situations might alter shortly.
Simmons is expected to bring an interesting twist to the Nets’ existing lineup whenever he makes his debut. The Nets have no lack of scorers or shooters. But taking on a guy renowned for emphasizing offense facilitation to a notorious degree. Especially when he’s an All-NBA defender who can help shore up a defense that ranks 20th in the NBA in defensive rating, is a no-brainer.

Simmons and the Nets are a theoretical match, but Simmons’ career has been characterized by results that have lagged behind the theory. Since the Eastern Conference semifinals in June 2021, Simmons has not played a significant NBA game, and a lot has occurred since then.
