Ben Simmons NEWS
Ben Simmons Will Likely Play On Saturday Against Charlotte
Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons (illness) has been listed as probable to play in the team's game against the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday. He was suffering from a non-COVID illness that seems to be clearing up enough for him to remain on the court and not miss any time. He played well in a supporting role during the team's win over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. Fantasy managers should look for him to continue his all-around play, but shouldn't expect any sort of elite fantasy value.
Dec 30, 2022 • 9:14 PM | RotoBallerBen Simmons Won't Suit Up Against The Pacers
Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons (knee, calf) is out for Saturday's meeting with the Pacers. The 26-year-old returned from a four-game absence on Friday against Atlanta, logging 20 minutes. However, with Brooklyn beginning its four-game road trip, he'll get the night off. Yuta Watanabe (hamstring) will return from a lengthy absence and should slide into the starting lineup. He has averaged only eight points this season. Yet, considering the team will also be without Kevin Durant (knee), Kyrie Irving (adductor), Seth Curry (ankle), Joe Harris (ankle), and Nicolas Claxton (hamstring), Watanabe has an excellent chance to finish as a top fantasy producer, and his efficient 57% shooting from deep will be embraced by category managers.
Dec 10, 2022 • 8:21 PM | RotoBallerBen Simmons Returning To The Court On Friday
Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons is no longer listed on the injury report ahead of the contest against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night. The 26-year-old missed the last four games due to a calf injury. He last suited up on November 30th against the Orlando Magic and only played 11 minutes before exiting the game. So far, he's had one good stretch of games when he rejoined the starting lineup, but outside of that, he hasn't returned much value. Based on playing time alone, he would still be a must-add in a lot of fantasy formats.
Dec 9, 2022 • 3:48 PM | RotoBallerBen Simmons Still Out On Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons (calf) remains out for Wednesday's game against Charlotte. The 26-year-old has been sidelined by a strained left calf. However, there appears to be light at the end of the tunnel, as Simmons is hoping he can return on Friday versus the Atlanta Hawks. That said, until he finds his way back to the floor, Joe Harris, who had 13 points, six rebounds, and two steals while shooting 3-for-5 from deep in Sunday's meeting with Boston, may remain in the starting lineup.
Dec 7, 2022 • 3:42 AM | RotoBallerBen Simmons To Miss Multiple Games Due To Strained Leg
Frustration builds as the Brooklyn Nets struggle to keep their best defensive player on the court. Ben Simmons will miss multiple contests due to a strained leg. Missing five games so early plays as an omen for what to expect for the duration of the season. Fantasy managers should be cautious as Simmons continues to suffer from various injuries. While Simmons stands as the assists and steals leader in per-game categories for the woeful Nets, there are healthier options on the waiver wire.
Nov 30, 2022 • 10:43 PM | RotoBallerBen Simmons Leaves Early With Knee Soreness
Brooklyn Nets point guard Ben Simmons played only 11 minutes against Orlando Monday, leaving the game with left knee soreness. He went scoreless in the game, missing three shots from the field, and collected four rebounds and three assists with two turnovers. Joe Harris and Seth Curry picked up the slack, with the former even ending up logging 36 minutes in the game. Simmons had just found some momentum, so it's very unfortunate that he has picked up another injury. The team hasn't yet said if he will miss any time but it seems likely. In addition to Harris and Curry, Edmond Sumner might also get a boost with Simmons out of the picture, although he logged only seven minutes Monday and hasn't really used his minutes well all season.
Nov 29, 2022 • 1:39 PM | RotoBallerBen Simmons Available On Tuesday Against Sacramento
Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons (knee) has been listed as available on Tuesday night as the Nets take on the Sacramento Kings. The 26-year-old point-forward did not play in their last game on Sunday and in the games he played before that, he's only played 16, 24, and 14 minutes respectively. Expectations shouldn't be too high for Simmons as he'll likely continue his role coming off of the bench as well. In deeper leagues, however, he should contribute a bit across many of the categories on both sides of the ball.
Nov 15, 2022 • 8:31 PM | RotoBallerBen Simmons Out On Sunday Against Lakers
Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons (knee) has officially been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. As of an hour before tip-off, Simmons didn't even appear on the injury report. Now, the team is reporting that he will be out with left knee soreness. Over the last couple of games that the Nets have won, Simmons was relegated to a bench role. He has contributed to the spacing issues, so the team has to figure out something different with their rotations. Fantasy managers will have to stay tuned to see if he will have to miss any extra time.
Nov 14, 2022 • 2:37 AM | RotoBallerBen Simmons Will Return Against Mavs
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons (knee) will return against the Mavs. Simmons, who's missed the last four games due to knee soreness, has averaged only 6.2 points this season. While the 26-year-old has also averaged 7.3 assists, 6.5 boards, and 1.2 steals, he hasn't met expectations. Considering he will play only 20 minutes on Monday night, he isn't the best fantasy option.
Nov 7, 2022 • 11:34 PM | RotoBallerBen Simmons Listed As Questionable Ahead Of Monday
Brooklyn Nets point guard Ben Simmons (knee) has been upgraded to questionable for Monday's visit to Dallas. He stayed home for the first two outings of a three-game road trip and has missed four games in total with a sore left knee, but it appears that Simmons is now getting ready to return. He should be set for a very productive stretch right away with Kyrie Irving suspended. Edmond Sumner will likely head back to the bench, although he is also someone who benefits from Irving's absence and could still see some good minutes.
Nov 7, 2022 • 1:12 PM | RotoBallerBen Simmons Out For At Least Two More Games
Brooklyn Nets point guard Ben Simmons (knee) will not travel to D.C. or Charlotte with the team, meaning he will miss at least two more games this week. He has already sat out two games as he deals with left knee soreness and swelling. Simmons' health issues have opened the door to the start unit for Joe Harris, although he hasn't done a lot so far as a starter. Yuta Watanabe has seen a boost in playing time off the bench with Simmons missing, and he produced a nice 10-point effort with four rebounds and two blocks Wednesday versus Chicago. Edmond Sumner has also re-entered the rotation, but it's tough for others to contribute on a team that has a two-headed monster dominating the offense.
Nov 3, 2022 • 7:13 PM | RotoBallerBen Simmons Out On Tuesday Versus Chicago
Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons (knee) has been ruled out for the team's Tuesday night contest against the Chicago Bulls. This is his second straight absence from the same knee soreness. Since this is his first handful of games for over a year, there were bound to be some bumps, bruises, and rest days to keep him from the floor. Joe Harris should see a start and increased minutes in his absence.
Nov 1, 2022 • 8:41 PM | RotoBallerBen Simmons To Miss Monday's Game
Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The 26-year-old is dealing with left knee soreness, so he'll sit this one out. However, Simmons is expected to suit up for Tuesday's game versus the Chicago Bulls. The expectation is that Joe Harris will draw a spot start on Monday. He should be worth looking at as a streaming option. Also, Kyrie Irving will have increased ball handling responsibilities with Simmons sidelined.
Oct 31, 2022 • 9:52 PM | RotoBallerBen Simmons Not On Minutes Restriction For Thursday
Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons (back) will not be on a minutes restriction against the Dallas Mavericks after facing more back issues on Wednesday night. After playing 34 minutes, he appeared to tweak his back in some way. Head coach Steve Nash came out and said there will be no limitations, so it seems he's not experiencing any lingering effects. Fantasy managers can continue to rely on the 26-year-old for production outside of scoring.
Oct 27, 2022 • 11:36 PM | RotoBallerBen Simmons Fouls Out In Nets Debut
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Ben Simmons finished with only four points during the loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday. While the 26-year-old had five rebounds and five assists, he would go on to foul out early in the fourth quarter. Simmons hasn't played in a non-preseason game since June 2021, so it may take him some time to find his footing. With that said, he can contribute on the fantasy end in many ways. However, managers would like to see Simmons get more aggressive offensively moving ahead.
Oct 20, 2022 • 2:21 AM | RotoBallerBen Simmons Cleared For Three-On-Three Work
Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) has progressed to three-on-three activities and is expected to be ready for the start of the season. The former Sixer hasn't been on the floor since the 2021 NBA playoffs and underwent surgery in May to address a herniated disk in his back. Nevertheless, it's unknown how many minutes Simmons will initially receive once he finally makes his Nets debut. However, despite his shooting woes and inability to stay healthy, he is forecasted to remain a top fantasy option.
