It will take a lot more than a pair of preseason games to prove that Ben Simmons is back to his old form. But he has given the Nets reason to hope.
It will take a lot more than a pair of preseason games to prove that Ben Simmons is back to his old form.And even then, with his injury history, it’s hard to know just how much the Nets can count on the 27-year-old.
For a Nets team that has Simmons under contract for another two years and $77 million, there’s cause for optimism — including from Simmons himself. Simmons and head coach Jacque Vaughn said their communication has been strong about how much work he is able to withstand.“It’s amazing,” Simmons said. “It feels really good. I’m not really one to talk too much to the media when it’s not needed, so it’s fun to just come out here, play my game and let everyone else do the talking.”
That confidence was apparent on Thursday and will be tested again Monday, when the Nets play their next preseason game, this time against Simmons’ old team, the 76ers, in Brooklyn.
