A new day always brings new opportunities. And if you’re associated with the Nets, it’s another chance to show you’re fed up with Ben Simmons’ lack of durability. At least, that’s what it seems like head coach Jacque Vaughn did in his postgame press conference on Thursday night.
After losing in Philadelphia against the 76ers on Wednesday, Brooklyn came home to host the Detroit Pistons on the second part of a back-to-back. Despite a 40-point effort from Kyrie Irving, the Nets lost their second game in a row.
During the Philly game, Simmons didn’t play most of the fourth quarter, which was Vaughn’s decision.
