Absent for three games already, Ben Simmons is still suffering from back pain… The leader will be evaluated again within a week by the Nets, hoping that his condition does not lead to (further) long unavailability.
What a struggle for Ben Simmons! Returning to the courts this season after many months in the infirmary, the Australian was delighted with his return to 100% of his physical and mental capacities. Unfortunately, old demons die hard and Ben Simmons’ back is still acting up. According to Shams Charania of The Athleticthe player would suffer from a nerve problem in the lower part of his back, which would also cause pain in his left hip.
Nets’ Ben Simmons has been diagnosed with nerve irritation on the lower left side of his body and will miss some time, according to his agent Bernie Lee. Simmons has missed the past three games.

If the insider The Athletic already seems to indicate a prolonged absence for the leader, already weakened at the back several times in recent years, the Nets are trying to remain positive. Jacque Vaughn hopes to find his player in a week, even if he has no guarantee… Comments reported by Erik Slater of Clutch Points.
Jacque Vaughn on Ben Simmons’ latest diagnosis:

“He had an MRI yesterday, the results of which came back to us today. It revealed a problem on the left side. He will be examined again in a week… He has shown signs of positivity and willingness to get better. So we hope that in a week we will be able to see progress.”
