Ben Simmons has been held back from is debut with the Brooklyn Nets by back issues. According to the team’s general manager Sean Marks, there is no timetable for return of the 25-year-old point guard.
The player will be re-evaluated next week. If his recovery from the back stiffness is going smoothly, Simmons will start working more intensely.

“Unfortunately, his back stiffness has delayed his ability to get on the court with his teammates so he’s been rehabbing this last, sort of, week to 10 days and then now, he’ll progress throughout this week with some individual workouts,” Marks said. “Hopefully, by the end of next week, he’s getting more into the team environment and then we can really ramp up and start him getting into game shape and so forth.”
