Nets' Simmons To Miss Monday Vs. Indiana With Knee Soreness

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons will sit out Monday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers due to left knee soreness, via ESPN's Marc J. Spears.

The Nets are reportedly monitoring some swelling in Simmons left knee and as a precaution will let him further rest and recover from his injury, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.

“I’m told Simmons and the Nets are managing some swelling in his left knee and he will miss either tonight’s game against Indiana or tomorrow’s game against the Bulls.”

Simmons, who missed the entirety of last season due to a back injury and mental health concerns, began his 2022-23 campaign in a slow start. He is averaging six points per game, seven assists, and shooting a woeful 46% from the charity stripe.

The Nets are currently tied for the worst record in the NBA (1-5) and are looking turns things around by getting revenge tonight versus a Pacers club, who defeated them 125-116 this past Saturday.
