Ben Simmons remains a big question mark for the Brooklyn Nets right now. They secured their participation in the playoffs after a commanding win over the young Cleveland Cavaliers on Tuesday night.
Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving showed their quality again, demonstrating why even as a 7th seed they could go and win it all this season. They’ll face the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs and could welcome Ben Simmons back at some point. This is only speculation right now, but the player could make a surprising return to help his squad compete in the postseason.
Ben has completed some on-court workouts, but nothing too serious. Still, that’s big for the Nets, who want to have their new Big 3 for the first time on the court this season. Simmons could be the perfect complement for Durant and Irving while helping the team improve their defense.
In recent hours, the Australian playmaker shared a picture of his feet on the court alongside an emoji that could be a hint that he’s close to returning, or that’s his way to tell people that he’s getting ready.

This is a great addition to the Brooklynites, but we have to wait and see if there’s a major update on this situation. They seem to be ready to face Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and co.
The Celtics are a hot team right now and the Nets will need to bring their A-game to defeat them. Nobody said it was going to be easy, but to be the best, you have to beat the best.
If Simmons makes a surprising appearance along the way, Steve Nash and co. will be happy. Meanwhile, they need to do as much as possible with the team they have right now. This year’s playoffs look incredible and we can’t wait to see these two big teams going at it.
