Simmons (knee, back) will not play again this season, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports. According to Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn, "[Simmons] is not going to join us for the rest of the season, in all honesty." This is unsurprising following the announcement Friday that Simmons is dealing with a nerve impingement in his back. He last played Feb. 15 against the Heat during the Nets' final game before the All-Star break, but he hadn't seen 30 minutes in consecutive games since late November. The 2022-23 campaign was Simmons' worst to date, plagued by injuries and confidence issues resulting in an abysmal 43.9 percent mark from the charity stripe. His final stats stand at 6.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.3 steals in 26.3 minutes per game. It's unclear at this point if the organization even views him as a building block for the future, especially after the high-level production of Mikal Bridges following the trades of Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant....

Nets' Ben Simmons: Diagnosed with nerve impingement
The Nets announced Friday that Simmons (back) has been diagnosed with a nerve impingement in his back and remains without a timetable for a return while the team determines a long-term treatment course, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports. Simmons last played Feb. 15 -- the Nets' final contest before the All-Star break -- and hasn't seen at least 30 minutes in a game since Jan. 20. Before Friday's report, Simmons already seemed unlikely to make his return to the court, and now it looks like a foregone conclusion that his season is over. That said, the Nets have yet to make such an announcement, so the possibility technically remains that he'll be back. Fantasy managers shouldn't hold their breath, however. If this is the end of his campaign, Simmons will finish his first year in Brooklyn with averages of 6.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.3 steals in what was, by far, the worst season of his career. He also shot a career-worst 43.9 percent from the free-throw line.... See More ... See Less -

Nets' Ben Simmons: MRI reveals inflammation

Simmons was slated to miss a sixth straight game Sunday versus the Hornets due to knee soreness, but it appears he's also dealing with a back issue. This is certainly a concerning for the oft-injured Simmons, and at this point it wouldn't be surprising if he was sidelined for the rest of the regular season. However, the Nets haven't released an official timetable for his return, with Vaughn saying, "we want [Simmons] back when he's capable of being back for us."... See More ... See Less -

Nets' Ben Simmons: Also dealing with back soreness
Simmons (knee) is day-to-day after experiencing back soreness while recovering from his knee injury, Meghan Triplett of GrindCityMedia.com reports. When asked, coach Jacque Vaughn wasn't sure if Simmons' back pain is in the same area as his previously herniated disc (L-4), which required offseason surgery. The plan going forward is to strengthen Simmons' knee while also managing his back soreness, leaving him day-to-day with no timetable for a return. The team insists there's no talk of shutting him down.... See More ... See Less -

The 26-year-old forward's next chance to suit up will be Friday's matchup with Boston. However, Simmons' role within the team began to shrink before missing time to injury, so his fantasy value even when healthy comes into question.... See More ... See Less -
Nets' Ben Simmons: Won't play Tuesday
Simmons (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's matchup against the Bucks, Chris Milholen of SI.com reports. Simmons will miss a third straight game to start the second-half schedule after receiving a PRP injection during the All-Star break. He's dealt with knee soreness for much of the season, so the hope is that the procedure and extended time off can remedy the discomfort. However, the former All-Star's workload had dwindled before he was shut down, so even when he's cleared, it's unlikely he garners a major role for the new-look Nets.... See More ... See Less -
Nets' Ben Simmons: Gets PRP injection, out two games
Simmons received a platelet-rich plasma injection in his sore left knee and is expected to sit out games Friday in Chicago and Sunday in Atlanta, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports. Simmons has dealt with knee soreness for much of the season, and he's apparently experienced enough discomfort coming out of the All-Star break to require the PRP injection. Even with the Nets overhauling their roster ahead of the trade deadline with Kevin Durant heading to Phoenix and Kyrie Irving moving to Dallas, Simmons' workload had been trending down heading into the break, and he hadn't received at least 30 minutes in a game since Jan. 20. In the month since that time, Simmons averaged 4.6 points, 5.3 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 21.6 minutes per contest. While Simmons is out, head coach Jacque Vaughn may hand bigger roles to Cam Thomas and Seth Curry.... See More ... See Less -
Nets' Ben Simmons: Downgraded to out
