During Ben Simmons’ first media appearance since the Atlanta Hawks series last playoffs and his first as a Brooklyn Net, Simmons was non-committal on when he might return. However, he said “it’s reasonable” to think he could be back by Game 4. There are multiple reports stating that Game 4 is the target date.
Simmons hasn’t played a second in a Nets uniform yet. As a result, all we can do is speculate on how head coach Steve Nash will use him. For what it’s worth, Simmons is confident about how he fits into this team.
