There is, as there has been all season, good news and bad news about the Nets.
The good news is that Steve Nash reported that Ben Simmons has been administered an epidural — a steroidal injection to ease pain in his lower back. The bad news is that Adrian Wojnarowski and Ramona Shelburne of ESPN report that the Nets are now hoping that Simmons can return for “a couple of games” before the play-in tournament which begins April 12. That would mean that the Nets new “Big Three” of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Simmons would have no time on court together prior to the post-season.
