The other day there was news that Ben Simmons may play game 4 of the first round of the series against the Celtics for the Nets, but Ben Simmons' remarks before the Nets' game 3 against the Celtics have made fans worried about the possibility of his comeback:
I asked Simmons if he would come back if the Nets were 3-0 behind in the series. His answer was 'if' and no definitive answer was given. ”
Although Simmons did not explicitly deny it, nor did he give a clear comeback answer, Simmons expressed optimism that the Nets won Game 3 of the series.
On the other hand, the Celtics also have good news in the squad. According to american media Adrian Warnaroski, Celtics toughster Robert Williams plans to return in Game 3 of the series against the Nets, and while he will still be limited in playing time, he will also get a lot of playing time in Game 4:
That's certainly good news for the Celtics, but for the Nets, the comeback of a defensive player like the opponent is certainly not a positive situation for the team.
Finally, the league officially announced that Nets veteran Patty Mills won the NBA Sportsmanship Award:
After training that afternoon for the Nets, Mills received a commemorative trophy for a 75th anniversary special edition. Mills is currently in the 13th season of his career and his first for the Nets.
