On February 15, Beijing time, the 2021-22 NBA regular season was in full swing. In recent times, the Nets have become the worst-form team in the league. They are currently experiencing a wave of 11 consecutive defeats with a record of just 29 wins and 27 losses, ranking 8th in the East.
In a recent trade, the Nets and the 76ers agreed to send Harden and Millsap away for Seth Curry, Simmons and Drummond. According to the schedule, the Nets will play the Kings at home today. The Nets released team entry and training photos, and Curry Jr. and Drummond will make their Nets career debuts today.
The most watched star in the deal is undoubtedly Simmons. He officially appeared today in the Nets' training uniform and met with Nets players such as Durant. It can be seen that Simmons himself is very excited to join the Nets, and Durant also gave him a high-five hug.
Nets coach Nash was excited about Simmons' arrival, saying, "Simmons has a unique talent, and his shining point is that he can do a lot of things. It would be very interesting to integrate him into our system and have him play at a high level. At the same time, Nash also revealed that Simmons' psychological state is good.
As for when Simmons will be able to play, Nash said that he will wait until Simmons is ready both physically and mentally, and as for the specific time, it will be decided together with himself, Simmons, and Simmons' team. Simmons is still in the process of trying to regain his physical strength.
