Ben Simmons News, Rumors, Updates - Brooklyn Nets

Available for Thursday Simmons (knee) will be available for Thursday's game against the Hawks, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports.

Impact Simmons will return from a one-game absence and it'll be interesting to see if he gets a start with Cam Thomas (ankle) sidelined. However, even as a starter, he typically only logs minutes in the low 20s, so he's still not the most attractive fantasy asset.

Sitting Tuesday Simmons won't play in Tuesday's game against the Magic due to left knee injury management, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports. He had four points (2-2 FG), six rebounds and three assis...

Impact Simmons hasn't suffered a new injury, but as Barnes notes, he's yet to gain clearance to play in back-to-backs. Dennis Schroder fared well in a spot start at point guard Monday night, so it wouldn't be unreasonable to see him with the first unit again Tuesday.

Will play vs. Grizzlies Simmons (leg) has been cleared to play Monday against Memphis, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Simmons was being considered a true game-time decision leading up to Monday's matchup due to a sore left leg, but he's shown enough to get the green light. He's averaging 5.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.1 steals over seven February contests.

Game-time decision Monday Simmons (leg) will test his sore left leg in pregame warm-ups prior to his status being determined, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Simmons' status will need to be monitored prior to tipoff, especially with Monday representing the front half of a back-to-back set for Brooklyn. Simmons has yet to play in both ends of a back-to-back this season.

Questionable for Monday Simmons is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to left leg soreness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Simmons sustained an injury during Saturday's loss to the Timberwolves, and it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to suit up Monday. If he sits out, Dennis Smith, Dennis Schroder and Trendon Watford are candidates to see an uptick in playing time.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with knee issue Simmons is dealing with a left knee issue according to coach Kevin Ollie, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact The Nets ruled Simmons out for the remainder of Saturday's game against Minnesota with left leg soreness, so Ollie's comments shed a bit more light on what the point guard is dealing with. While there is no imaging scheduled for the knee, that is subject to change. Simmons will travel with the team for Monday's game versus Memphis, but his status is in jeopardy pending further evaluation.

Will not return Simmons will not return to Saturday's game against Minnesota due to left leg soreness, Meghan Triplett of YES Network reports. He finished with four points (2-6 FG), eight rebounds...

Impact The severity of the injury is not known, but the Nets usually always err on the side of caution with Simmons. It remains to be seen if he'll be ready in time for Monday's game against Memphis, but it's worth mentioning that it's the start of a back-to-back set and Simmons would likely be limited to one game even at 100 percent.

FEBRUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Does little in return Simmons notched two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and four assists over 21 minutes during Thursday's 121-93 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Simmons missed the final game heading into the All-Star break to rest his knee, and he didn't do much in his return Thursday. He isn't a high volume shooter, but will typically contribute in other ways in the box score while taking a back seat in the scoring department. Simmons has scored in double digits just once since his return January 29.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Thursday Simmons will return to the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Raptors, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Simmons skipped Brooklyn's final game heading into the break to rest his left knee, but he'll be back in a starting role Thursday, replacing Dennis Schroder in the first unit. Head coach Kevin Ollie said he would be "mindful" of the players who were on minutes restrictions before the break, so it's unlikely Simmons will exceed minutes outside the mid-20s.

FEBRUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Simmons (knee) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game against Toronto, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Simmons missed the Nets' final game before the All-Star break due to left knee injury management, but he'll be back in action as the team returns from its layoff. Over his last four appearances, he's averaged 8.3 points, 5.5 assists, 4.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 21.5 minutes per game.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Wednesday Simmons won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Celtics due to injury management, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact Simmons hasn't suffered any injury but will sit out the second leg of Brooklyn's back-to-back against Boston on Wednesday. With Cameron Johnson (thigh) expected to return to action, Johnson Dennis Smith and Day'Ron Sharpe are candidates to receive increased minutes. Simmons' next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star Break on Feb. 22 against Toronto.

Nears double-double in return Simmons chipped in nine points (4-7 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Tuesday's 119-107 loss to Dallas.

Impact Simmons (back) returned after missing Brooklyn's previous game, replacing Cameron Johnson (hip) in the starting lineup while ending one point and one rebound shy of a double-double in a losing effort. Simmons, who also ended three dimes short of the double-digit mark, has tallied at least nine points, nine rebounds and seven assists in three of his nine appearances this year.

Kyrie Irving wants 'to move forward' after 36-point night in Brooklyn return

Gets starting nod Simmons is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Mavericks.

Impact Simmons will replace Cameron Johnson (hip) in the starting lineup Tuesday. Simmons is averaging 6.5 points, 10.8 rebounds and 6.7 assists in 31.7 minutes across his last six starting appearances this season.

FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Not listed on injury report Simmons (back) isn't listed on the Nets' injury report ahead of Tuesday's game versus Dallas, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact As expected, Simmons is good to go Tuesday after sitting out the first half of Brooklyn's back-to-back set Monday for injury maintenance. The point guard has looked strong in limited action over two appearances since returning from a multi-month absence, but he's not playing enough to be a strong fantasy asset in standard leagues at the moment.

Won't play Monday Simmons won't play Monday against the Warriors due to back injury maintenance, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Simmons will sit out the first half of a back-to-back set while the Nets continue to be cautious with the oft-injured point guard. While he's looked good in limited minutes over two appearances since returning from a multi-month absence, it appears fantasy managers won't be able to rely on Simmons for consistent production moving forward.

FEBRUARY 3 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Good to go Simmons (knee) is available to play in Saturday's game against the 76ers, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Impact No surprise here, as Simmons originally drew a probable designation. He played 18 minutes in his return to action Monday from a lengthy absence. Thus, he is presumably in line for a similar workload against his former team assuming he avoids any setbacks.
