On April 26, 2022, the Brooklyn Nets will host their fourth game in the series against the Boston Celtics. This game will be a life-and-death battle for the Nets, and there has been news that Simmons will return in this game. Unexpectedly, the Nets officially confirmed in the injury report released today that Simmons will miss tomorrow's game. According to the US media reports, Simmons woke up today and felt a sore back before asking to miss tomorrow's game. Simmons' move once again pushed himself to the cusp of the storm.
After learning that Simmons would be missing tomorrow's game, NBA star Reggie Miller wrote on his social media: "Bro, since learning that you are out of G4, I think your competitiveness is zero. Even though the Nets have very little chance of winning this series, you have Durant and Irving, and you just have to win one game with them. Although Reggie Miller has never won a title in his career, he has always been a famous tough guy in the league, and seeing Simmons's behavior now, he obviously looks down on it.
During the season, Simmons staged a farce that forced the 76ers to trade him. He also left the 76ers to the Nets as he wished, getting the chance to play with Durant and Irving. But after joining the Nets, he never made it to the game. After a rest for a whole season, or even a whole season without training and playing, but he was injured, which has made the media and fans puzzled. Now the Nets need him, and he has always said from the playoffs to the present that he will try his best to come back, and even confirmed his comeback in game four, but suddenly chose to continue to truce, which is really unquestionable. After this farce, Simmons has gradually become a laughingstock.
Looking back now, the Brooklyn Nets' deal back to Simmons was a big loss. Many people thought that the Nets still made money at the time of the trade, but no one expected Simmons to be so capable of tossing and turning, and actually missed all seasons. According to this situation, next season's Simmons is still difficult to expect from him. Simmons' talent is there for all to see, but over the course of several seasons, his performance has been disappointing. The Nets are now 0-3 behind, and no team in NBA history has completed a comeback without falling behind 3-0, not to mention that the Nets' opponents are powerful Celtics. Perhaps, the Nets can start preparing for the new season.
