After reports last week indicated that Nets star Ben Simmons would make his team debut in Monday’s Game 4 against the Celtics, Simmons was officially ruled out for the game after waking up with back pain Sunday morning.
The latest turn in the Simmons saga has left the team “exasperated” as Brooklyn looks to avoid a season-ending sweep at the hands of Boston on Monday night.
“When I checked in on this yesterday, basically what I got was exasperation,” ESPN’s Brian Windhorst said on Monday morning’s edition of Get Up.
