Ben Simmons - Goes under knife Simmons underwent a successful microscopic partial discectomy Thursday and is expected to make a full recovery for training camp next season, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Impact Simmons discectomy will work to alleviate the nerve impingement in his lower back. Removing part of the problematic disc in Simmons' lower spine addresses the root cause of the series of injuries that limited him to just 15 appearances this season. The 27-year-old has suited up for just 57 contests across the last three campaigns, and his body breaking down has been a serious matter over that span. Simmons teases rare two-way play at his size for a ballhandler, but a lengthy rehab and re-strengthening process will now ensue in advance of the 2024-25 campaign -- for which he is owed $40.3 million by Brooklyn in the final year of his contract.

Dorian Finney-Smith - Workload declines Wednesday Finney-Smith posted six points (2-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to the Magic.
Impact After playing more than 30 minutes in six straight games coming into Wednesday, Finney-Smith saw his court time decline as Cameron Johnson rejoined the frontcourt rotation. Finney-Smith had averaged 12.0 points, 4.8 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.5 threes and 1.0 steals in 35.2 minutes a contest while getting that elevated workload, but it looks like his run of modest fantasy utility might have come to an end.

Cam Thomas - Leading scorer in loss Thomas posted a team-high 21 points (9-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to the Magic.
Impact The third-year guard topped 20 points for the third straight game since returning from an ankle/foot sprain, although Wednesday's output was his lowest of the three. Thomas appears to be locked into a starting spot for the Nets as long as he can continue to provide an offensive spark -- he's started 16 straight appearances dating back to Jan. 27, averaging 22.9 points, 4.0 boards, 3.5 assists, 2.6 threes and 1.1 steals during that time while shooting 42.4 percent from beyond the arc.

Cameron Johnson - Not starting in return Johnson (ankle) is available but won't start Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Impact Johnson is returning from a three-game absence due to an ankle sprain and will presumably be limited off the bench. As a reserve this season (four games), Johnson has averaged just 8.0 points and 3.5 rebounds in 21.5 minutes.
MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE
Noah Clowney - Returns to NBA The Nets recalled Clowney from the G League's Long Island Nets on Wednesday, but he won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Magic due to a coach's decision.
Impact Clowney has been an inconsistent part of Brooklyn's rotation this season. The rookie forward will likely continue to bounce back and forth between the NBA and G League.

Cameron Johnson - Will play Wednesday Johnson (ankle) said he will play Wednesday against the Magic, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
Impact Johnson missed the past three games for Brooklyn, but he was carrying a probable tag prior to this update and his ankle has responded well in recent workouts. If he has any restrictions, those will likely be learned a little closer to tipoff.
MARCH 13 • ROTOWIRE
Cameron Johnson - Ascends to probable Johnson (ankle) is considered probable for Wednesday's game against Orlando, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact Johnson is traveling with Brooklyn for the contest, which bodes well for his prospective return. His status could be determined during pregame warm-ups, but Johnson appears firmly on track to return from a three-game absence due to a right ankle sprain.
