According to the Daily Network, Simmons appears to have disappeared after the season, when in fact he has been going through a physical rehabilitation program, and from his social accounts, his training seems to have paid off.
According to Nets reporter John, "I was told Ben Simmons would not be playing at the basketball World Cup in August, and he and the Nets didn't think the World Cup was worth cutting his recovery time by three weeks. At the same time, the Nets are optimistic about his prospects of recovery, and he is also looking forward to the 2024 Paris Olympics, after all, Japan is long! ”
The report may surprise and disappoint Australian head coach Ben Gaojian. He has said that after Simmons missed the Tokyo Olympics, this summer is very likely to bring him back a few months from actual combat. With Simmons' waiver, Nets guard Patty Mills is likely to remain captain of the Australian team.
Simmons has not been in the game since Feb. 15. He underwent a microscopic resection throughout the 2021-22 season against the Philadelphia 76ers, and last season due to a lumbar injury, he played just 42 games in Brooklyn, battling back and knee ailments, averaging 6.9 points, 6.3 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game, all career lows.
But Mr. Lee, Simmons' new agent, told the New York Post last month that he had been approved for the next phase of his rehabilitation program and appeared to be getting better. Nets general manager Sean Mark said Simmons should be 100 percent healthy by Sept. 1 training camp. If you can recover because you missed a game to restore your ability to peak condition, it seems very worthwhile.
