Ben Simmons Fantasy Stats

According to Brooklyn Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez, Ben Simmons will take over as the team's "full-time point guard" moving ahead after the recent trade involving Dennis Schroder. Not only that, but Fernandez wants the Nets to play faster, with Simmons in charge of pushing the pace. The 28-year-old was once one of the league's most promising players. However, he hasn't been the same in recent years, currently averaging 5.1 points, 6.5 assists, and 5.6 rebounds. But with Simmons focusing on one position, at least most of the time, there's a chance he could improve on the scoring end. If anything, his assist numbers should increase. With that in mind, Simmons will need to stay healthy, which has been a challenge. Still, the latest update from Fernandez could mean good things for the former LSU Tiger for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign.

According to Brooklyn Nets beat reporter Erik Slater, guard Ben Simmons (back) is available to play against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. Simmons sat out Monday's game against the Bulls for back-injury management. In his most recent appearance against the Orlando Magic on Sunday, the veteran guard logged 12 minutes, collecting five assists, two rebounds, and one steal. However, he was held scoreless in the contest.

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers, but reports indicate he is expected to play. Simmons sat out Monday's game against the Bulls for back injury management, but the team seems hopeful about his availability. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status ahead of tip-off. In his most recent appearance against the Orlando Magic, the veteran guard logged 12 minutes, dishing out five assists but going scoreless.

Brooklyn Nets guard/center Ben Simmons (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Simmons played 13 minutes before exiting Sunday's game against the Magic due to a left knee contusion. His knee is not mentioned on the team's injury report, so he's likely not suiting up due to maintenance related to his back. Brooklyn will also have Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) and Ziaire Williams (knee) missing in action.

Brooklyn Nets guard/center Ben Simmons (injury management) will be rested on Monday versus Golden State. He hasn't played in both legs of a back-to-back this season, and Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez said ahead of Sunday's game against Sacramento that Simmons will be out for injury management purposes on Monday. Hopefully, with a rest day confirmed for him, we will see a big performance from Simmons against the Kings, especially with Dennis Schroder (ankle) sidelined. Keon Johnson will likely receive a much larger workload if both players miss Monday's action.

Brooklyn Nets utility man Ben Simmons (back) won't play in Saturday's game against the undefeated Cavaliers. He had one of his best games of the 2024-25 campaign in Friday's overtime loss to the Boston Celtics, amassing eight points, eight assists, six boards, and one steal. But as will be the case for Simmons for the foreseeable future, he won't play in back-to-back contests in an effort to preserve his health. Noah Clowney could see some action on Saturday night with Simmons off the floor. However, Clowney has averaged just 6.1 points and 3.3 rebounds this season, giving him little value for fantasy managers.

Brooklyn Nets utility man Ben Simmons won't suit up on Monday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. Simmons won't play in back-to-back contests for the foreseeable future, so his absence is maintenance related. But with Noah Clowney (hip) also out, Nicolas Claxton may work his way back into the starting lineup. If not, Brooklyn may go small and have Dorian Finney-Smith handle things in the middle. There's also streaming potential for Ziaire Williams and Jalen Wilson to see an uptick in fantasy production with Simmons off the floor.

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) is available for Sunday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The Nets continue to be cautious with Simmons, but he'll suit up for this game. However, he's unlikely to play on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Nets are holding Simmons out of back-to-back contests, so he shouldn't be available on Monday. Simmons is coming off his best performance of the season where he scored eight points with 11 rebounds, and two blocks against the Chicago Bulls. That was an encouraging statline from the oft-injured guard.

Brooklyn Nets utility man Ben Simmons (back) is questionable for Sunday's contest versus Detroit. It's the first of back-to-back outings for Brooklyn, so if Simmons plays against the Pistons, he likely won't be out there on Monday against the Grizzlies. The 28-year-old started in all five of his appearances this season. But he hasn't been productive, averaging 6.2 points, 6.2 assists, and 6.0 rebounds. With Nicolas Claxton returning to form after battling a hamstring injury to begin the year, Simmons will likely return to the bench. However, no matter his role, he hasn't been a reliable starting option for fantasy managers.

According to Brian Lewis of the New York Post, Brooklyn Nets utility man Ben Simmons (back) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the Denver Nuggets due to lower back management. Tuesday is the first half of back-to-back games for the Nets, and Nic Claxton will likely start in place of Simmons. However, Claxton's minutes have been restricted so far this season due to a hamstring injury in training camp. Keon Johnson, Zaire Williams, Shake Milton, and Jalen Wilson will likely see more minutes on the court with Simmons out.
