At each press briefing, Steve Nash must answer the same question: “ When will Ben Simmons return to the field? » The Nets coach responded today that his rookie would not be reinstated for the end of the regular season and for the “play-in”. At best, he will return during the playoffs. If Brooklyn qualifies…
Victim of a herniated disc, Ben Simmons is currently doing exercises in his corner, and it’s limited to shooting with his feet on the ground. Steve Nash ensures that the Australian did a little more on Monday, but he is obviously far from being able to resume since he still does not run!
It should be remembered that he has not played since June 20, 2020, the date of the Sixers’ elimination against the Hawks in the conference semi-finals. After almost 10 months without playing, he will need at least a month of regular training and a good week of five-on-five opposition before he is able to play again.
The Nets are now 10th in the East, and that means they will have to win two games to earn their ticket to the playoffs, with the prospect of facing the number 1 of their conference in the first round.
