The point guard/power forward of the Brooklyn Nets, Ben Simmons has made a full recovery and is ready to go and play.
After a back injury, Simmons was not present during the last two months of the regular season, but good news is, he is back now.
He is currently focusing on developing his skills as he prepares himself for the training camp sessions.
I saw and spoke with @BrooklynNets Ben Simmons today.
He’s in fantastic shape. He’s shredded💪🏽.
He’s in a good place. 👌🏽Ben has spent quality time this summer with Head Coach Jacque Vaughn,teammates Royce O’Neal and Dennis Smith Jr. It’s lining up for Simmons💯 pic.twitter.com/jT6QrIYB1U— MarkJonesESPN (@MarkJonesESPN) August 16, 2023
Simmons agent, Bernie Lee regarding his update shared his views and said, “The expectation is that he’ll be able to start the season Day 1 of training camp and definitely the regular season without any limitations in any way.”
Lee called Simmons a “Basketball savant” and further said, “He’s been great. There’s been a protocol that was established for him this summer that has benchmarks and measurements just to make sure everything’s staying on track, and I would tell you that he’s exceeded everything.”
"The expectation is that, you know, he'll be able to start the season".

It was in April the Nets made the announcement that Simmons would not be able to attend the rest of the 2022-23 season as he sustained a nerve impingement in his back.
In May 2022, Simmons underwent a microdiscectomy to repair a herniated disk.
However, Simmons will not play for Australia in the 2023 FIBA World Cup in August.
With Simmons back in good health, the team would certainly reap the benefits of his return.
