Downgraded to questionable Simmons (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Charlotte, Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com reports.

Officially probable Saturday Simmons (illness) is probable for Saturday's game against the Hornets, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.
Impact Simmons was unable to practice Friday due to an illness, but coach Jacque Vaughn said the 26-year-old was "more likely than unlikely" to play against Charlotte. Simmons' probable designation reflects that hope, and it doesn't appear as though his illness is an issue that will force him to miss any game action.

Expected to play Saturday Nets coach Jacque Vaughn said Friday that Simmons (illness) is "more likely than unlikely" to play in Saturday's game versus the Hornets, Nick Friedell of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Despite missing Friday's practice with an illness, Simmons is expected to play Saturday. The 26-year-old forward is averaging 8.0 points, 7.4 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 26.2 minutes across his last five games.

Secures double-double in win Simmons provided 12 points (6-9 FG), 11 rebounds, eight assists and three steals over 28 minutes during Friday's 118-100 win over the Bucks.

He also shot the basketball well in this one, which has been a reoccurring theme of late. Simmons is now 26-for-41 (63.4 percent) from the field over his last six appearances.

Will play Monday Simmons isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's matchup against Washington, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Simmons returned to action Friday following a four-game absence due to a calf injury, but he was sidelined for the second half of Brooklyn's back-to-back Saturday. Even though Simmons isn't listed on the injury report, it's safe to assume he'll likely be limited during Monday's matchup. He drew the start Friday and totaled six points, six rebounds, seven assists and four steals in 21 minutes.

Stuffs stat sheet in return Simmons (calf) produced six points (3-4 FG), six rebounds, seven assists and four steals in 21 minutes during Friday's 120-116 win over Atlanta.
Impact Simmons missed Brooklyn's prior four games due to a strained left calf, and he was limited to 21 minutes upon his return. That didn't stop him from making an impact in the box score, however, as he did a little bit of everything to finish with a solid all-around line. It was perhaps most impressive that he was able to register a season-high four steals during his limited time on the court, though he also committed four turnovers. Simmons won't play in the second game of the back-to-back set Saturday, per Nick Friedell of ESPN.com, but he'll likely begin building back up to a full workload and should remain a useful fantasy producer for those who can stomach his complete lack of three-point shooting and poor free-throw percentage.

Impact Simmons has missed nearly two weeks due to his calf issue, so it's not a big surprise that the coaching staff will take things easy for the oft-injured forward. Simmons' return should help ease the blow of losing Claxton for Friday's game, though Markieff Morris, Day'Ron Sharpe and T.J. Warren will likely need to assist filling in the remaining minute gaps and could see additional run again with Simmons out Saturday.
