Steve Nash was non-committal about Ben Simmons returning for Game 4 on Monday but disclosed it’s possible. The Nets head coach explained how the final decision will be a mixture of determining with Simmons whether the 25-year-old three-time All-Star is ready to play as well as gauging how his injury absence and long layoff from play affect his fit.
“I think it’s possible but I’m not sure,” said Nash on Simmons returning in Game 4. “It’s not a normal return to play being out nine months and being injured as long as he has been. At the backend of this, it’s been about two months or more.
