Nets’ Ben Simmons Out With Calf Injury
Nets guard Ben Simmons is expected to miss at least the next three games, the team announced on Wednesday.
Simmons was diagnosed with a left lateral upper calf strain, per ESPN’s Nick Friedell, after he left Monday night’s game against the Magic early with left knee soreness.
The Nets said they plan to assess their star player’s health again once his three game absence is over. If he only misses three games, Simmons would be set to return next Wednesday, Dec. 7 vs. the Hornets. He will miss this week’s matchups vs. the Wizards, the Raptors and the Celtics.
