No Return For Ben Simmons Against Knicks
5 months agoBrooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (back) remains out for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. Simmons won't make his return during Wednesday's "Battle of the Boroughs", having last suited up on Nov. 6 due to a nerve impingement in his lower back. Simmons' fantasy appeal has been relatively limited to his 6.7 assists and 10.8 rebounds per game as it as, so the former Philadelphia 76ers standout playmaker is more of a fringe hold in shallow leagues with no timetable for a return. With Lonnie Walker IV (hamstring) still unavailable with a hamstring injury against the Knicks, head coach Jacque Vaughn should continue handing three-and-D role players Dorian Finney-Smith and Royce O'Neale significant playing time for however long Simmons continues to sit on the shelf.
