Simmons hasn't played in an NBA game since may after filing a trade with the 76ers on the grounds of mental health issues, and on Tuesday he was finally allowed to do his first confrontation training sessions with his teammates for some 4v4 training. Nash plans to schedule Simmons for some similar training before today's game.

Before the G2 game, when he was asked about Simmons' goal G4 comeback, Nash joked: "It's all news for me. I don't think we're going to target a certain game... None of us would say that this [Simmons' comeback] is imminent. Coach Uduka is confident that the Green Army players are familiar with Bensi: "His comeback is not a problem. ”
Simmons last played in the Eastern Conference Semifinals last season, G7, and if he returns in the first round of the season, it will be his second appearance in 309 days.
