Ben Simmons of the Brooklyn Nets is finally back to normal. On Thursday, SNI's Ian Begley reported that Simmons is 100% healthy after missing the final two months of the regular season with a back injury. Simmons has had no setbacks in the game, and now that he is unable to recover from his injury, he is training and preparing for retirement, according to SNY, citing league sources.
Also on Thursday. In an interview with SiriusXM NBA Radio, Simmons' agent Bernie Lee said: "The season should start on the first day of training camp and definitely in an uneven regular season. Through thick and thin".
He called Lee Simmons "the savior of basketball" and said he would return to competition "here at a very high level for all of us to see." When asked about Simmons' health, Lee said, "It was amazing. He went through protocol this summer to make sure everything was going right and I can tell you he went through everything."
On Wednesday on NBA Today, ESPN's Mark Spears quoted a source close to Simmons as saying he was getting close to training for the regular season.
Spears read the entire verse aloud.
I'd say he's in the final stages of preseason and he's reached all levels and he's as healthy as he was from last year in Philadelphia. Brooklyn has been incredibly supportive and the plan is for him to be the Nets' starting point guard and starting point guard next season. He should resume his full career at the level [of the game] he was at before leaving Philadelphia.
Suddenly, Simon's obvious optimism is in the air. The NBA Today panel used Paul George Michael Bridges' recent podcast as a starting point to discuss his support for Simmons and his belief that he will return to form.
In April, when the Nets announced that he would miss the remainder of the 2022-23 season with a back injury, Lee told New York Post's Brian Lewis that he would be healthy to start next season (he had surgery, a microdiscectomy for a hernia) . disk..) Manager Sean Marks stated that on July 9 during a Summer League game in Las Vegas, The Nets told reporters that Simmons had not yet played 3-on-3 or 5-on-5, but he was in "good condition ". physical form" and wanted to. Togo". According to reports from ESPN and SNY, Simmons has built a huge lead in recent weeks.
However, Simmons will not be on the Australian team for the 2023 FIBA World Championship in August. (“This summer is over,” Marks told reporters in Las Vegas. “That was wrong.” Season 24: Brooklyn had a relatively quiet summer after the Kevin Durant-Kyrie Irving trade in February.) and Simmons is confident that will be a huge plus.
