Simmons has started some strength recovery training recently, but when the Nets wanted him to shoot some promotional videos, when the photographer offered to take a picture of his dunk, but Simmons said that the back injury bothered him so he could not complete the dunk, did not expect to play the dunk when the 76ers warmed up, which shows that the situation he said is completely opposite to the actual situation, and now his back injury has worsened again.
According to Nets coach Nash, Simmons now has sore backs from time to time, and now Simmons has announced to the team that his injury has worsened and the comeback time will continue to be postponed, but Nash finally expressed his support for Simmons, saying that no matter how long he is absent from the game, the Nets will not fine him because it is a team with love and unity, and Nash has expressed opposition to the team punishing any player.
If Simmons has been so absent from the game, then the Nets can only compete for a playoff spot with such a remnant, and even in the playoff journey, they may not be able to wait for Simmons' comeback, and the American "FW" media has stood up and said that Simmons has asked the 76ers for $25 million in compensation, of which 19 million is salary, the rest is moral compensation, but it was rejected, and now he has set his sights on the Nets, hoping that the money can be paid by the Nets.
And what happened to Simmons now is not only supported by head coach Nash, but also by Owen, who said of Simmons in an interview: "No matter what Simmons does, then I will support him unconditionally, as long as he can maintain his love of basketball, then I will treat him as his brother, and he will also support all my decisions." 」 ”
