Ben Simmons News
Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons (back) was rumored to be out for the rest of the season before, but head coach Jacque Vaughn made it official on Tuesday. He said that Simmons will begin a rehab program for his back and will not play in the remaining seven games. Fantasy-wise, this doesn't change much since the 26-year-old was already sidelined and he didn't produce enough throughout the year to warrant a roster spot in any format. Hopefully, he'll be able to rest up and regain his All-Star status from a couple of seasons ago.
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) experienced back soreness during rehab this week. The 26-year-old has missed the last four games with a nagging knee issue. However, the latest setback only adds more uncertainty concerning whether he can make it back in 2022-23. Simmons is easily having the worst season of his career, averaging 6.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 1.3 steals in 42 games. That said, while there reportedly hasn't been a conversation about shutting him down, fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked if he doesn't return for the rest of the season. But considering how poorly he's played, it won't be a significant loss on the fantasy end.
Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons (knee) was already ruled out for Friday's contest during the post-game media availability by head coach Jacque Vaughn. It looks like Simmons' knee soreness continues to be a bigger issue and will keep him out of a fifth consecutive game. In fantasy terms, this isn't too relative to most fantasy managers as almost everyone except for those in extremely large leagues or dynasty formats have moved on from Simmons already. His fantasy relevance is at an all-time low and shouldn't be anywhere near the radar for the rest of the season.
Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons (knee) will sit out a third consecutive game due to knee soreness as he was officially ruled out of the team's contest on Wednesday night. This will also be his 19th missed game of the season, but the team hasn't missed much while he's been out. The fifth-year point-forward has been posting career lows almost across the board as he still tries to get back to the All-Star level that he was on while in Philadelphia. While he's out, Royce O'Neale and Dorian Finney-Smith should handle any of those vacated minutes.
