Ben Simmons has spent more time on the injury report than 90 percent of NBA players the last few seasons.
Returning from back surgery last season, Simmons played in 42 games before Brooklyn shut him down for the season with a nerve issue.
Simmons returned this year after a another procedure, supposedly healthy, and with offseason workout videos being met with elation and optimism from Nets fans.
Just six games into the 2023+24 campaign, Simmons looked improved physically but still not his former All-Star self. Now, the Nets have shut him down and he will miss his fourth consecutive game.
Ben Simmons is out again tomorrow with a hip injury. It’ll be his 4th straight game out.

Same thing last year: Played 6 games then he was in & out until they shut him down in Feb.
Nets can’t afford to go through that again. Adjusting to different styles of ball all season.
The Nets are notoriously guarded with injury news and are classifying Simmons' most recent ailment as a hip contusion. Nets World holds its collective breath as the prospect of him missing significant time is not off the table.
