Sniffs triple-double in win Simmons ended Wednesday's 127-117 victory over the Suns with 14 points (7-8 FG), nine rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 27 minutes.

Impact Simmons turned back the clock with this impressive performance, missing just one of his eight shots from the field while finishing just one board and two assists away from a triple-double. The Nets need Simmons to step his game up on offense, and it seems the issue is a lack of confidence rather than an issue with his efficiency. Simmons is averaging just 5.9 points per game this season, but he's also shooting a solid 58.8 percent from the floor.

Impact Simmons will sit out the second half of the team's back-to-back set Monday.

Goes scoreless vs. New York Simmons ended with zero points (0-3 FG), four rebounds, eight assists and one block across 22 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 loss to the Knicks.

Impact There's no question that the Nets need more from Simmons on the offensive end of the court, and the Australian went scoreless in a game that could've easily had a different outcome had he been more aggressive on offense. Simmons has failed to reach double-digit points in each of his 10 games this season, and his lack of scoring prowess certainly undermines his fantasy value. He's averaging 7.0 assists, 5.8 rebounds and a combined 1.3 steals-and-blocks per game, but he's only scoring a career-low 5.3 points per contest.

Impact Simmons will return Friday from a one-game absence due to calf tightness, and he will start at center as Nic Claxton is sidelined due to a lower back strain. Across his six starts this season, Simmons has averaged 5.8 points, 6.2 assists and 6.0 rebounds over 24.5 minutes per game.

Imaging comes back clean An MRI on Simmon's left calf came back clean Thursday and he could play in Friday's game versus the Knicks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Simmons missed Brooklyn's previous contest with left calf tightness but has returned to working out. While fantasy managers should look out for an official injury report clarifying Simmons' status for Friday's game, it wouldn't be surprising for the Nets to play it cautiously with the 28-year-old.
