On March 22, Beijing time, the Brooklyn Nets defeated the Utah Jazz, and after the game, Durant revealed the situation of teammate Ben Simmons who was sidelined due to injury in an interview.
Durant said: "Simmons is in good shape today, he is with the team now, I haven't seen what he can do on the court, but he has been with the team, he is in good mental condition and he himself is very happy to be a part of this team".
"I'm expecting him to play, but definitely don't want him to come back in a hurry for the team before his back injury is better, he needs to spend enough time to get his body back to health, but once he can play, we can have a better performance."
According to previous reports, Simmons is currently dealing with injuries to lumbar disc herniation and received epidural injections last week to relieve pain. Bency is still struggling to make a comeback in the playoffs, but there is no specific timetable for his comeback. However, Nash is very optimistic about Simmons' comeback.
Nash said: "He will recover well in the next week or so and I am still optimistic about his comeback this season. ”
So whether Simmons can return this season is still a question mark, but in this deal, Harden has begun to play for the 76ers, but the Nets have not done anything, which is indeed a bit difficult to understand!
