No Back-to-Backs for Ben Simmons 'Until Further Notice'

Simmons' Return Timetable Uncertain

Ben Simmons will not play in back-to-back games "until further notice," Brooklyn Nets coach Steve Nash said Wednesday. Simmons is dealing with a "mild left calf strain" and has missed the Nets' last two games.

Nash said the Nets are being cautious with Simmons, who has a history of knee and back injuries. "We're just trying to be smart with him," Nash said. "He's had some issues in the past, so we're just trying to make sure that we're not putting him in a position where he's at risk of further injury."

Simmons' Impact on the Nets

Simmons is a key part of the Nets' rotation, and his absence has been felt. The Nets are 1-2 in the three games Simmons has missed, and they have struggled to defend without him.

Simmons is a versatile defender who can guard multiple positions. He is also a good rebounder and passer. The Nets are hoping to have him back in the lineup as soon as possible, but they are not going to rush him back.

Simmons' Future with the Nets

Simmons is in the first year of a five-year, $177 million contract with the Nets. He was acquired from the Philadelphia 76ers in a trade for James Harden in February.

Simmons has not yet lived up to expectations in Brooklyn. He has struggled with injuries and has not been able to find a consistent rhythm on the court. However, the Nets are still hoping that he can be a key part of their future.

Conclusion

Simmons' return timetable is uncertain, but the Nets are being cautious with him. They are hoping to have him back in the lineup as soon as possible, but they are not going to rush him back.
