Ben Simmons of the Nets is coping with yet another injury
Injuries have plagued Brooklyn Nets’ point guard Ben Simmons throughout his NBA career. This time it was yet another back injury that derailed what was a strong start, as he was healthy entering a season for the first time in years.
Simmons played in the first five games of the season and six out of the first seven before being sidelined again. He would miss 38 consecutive games because of the back injury before returning to the court on January 29th against the Utah Jazz.
On top of his individual performance, the Nets defeated the Utah Jazz by 33, 147-114. Unfortunately for Simmons, he didn’t escape the game unscathed as he is now dealing with another injury.
According to Tim Bontemps of ESPN, Simmons is dealing with a knee contusion. He appeared to tweak his knee on Monday when he fell awkwardly and is now being listed as questionable for tonight’s game against the Phoenix Suns.
