Ben Simmons

Simmons played his last game on Nov. 6 before missing time due to a pinched nerve in his back.

Simmons, who has a history of back issues, has been sidelined since Nov. 6. 

At 27, Simmons would appear to have a lot of years ahead of him. And yet this feels like a defining moment for the No. 1 draft pick in 2016.

There is uncertainty in Brooklyn. Simmons is about to enter his second full season with the Nets, and no one seems to know what to expect.

Simmons sat out the entire 2021-22 season and was traded to Brooklyn in February 2022 as part of a deal that involved James Harden.

Do the Nets need to get a point guard? How should Brooklyn spend their TPE? Alex Schiffer dips into the most recent mailbag questions.

Simmons was left off the original roster for the Boomers, but that doesn't mean the door is closed for him to play for his national team.

Alex Schiffer and John Hollinger discuss the Nets' offseason, which should have plenty of action, but far less chaos than previous summers.

All indications are the Nets' offseason will be quieter than the last one. But that doesn't mean there won't be big decisions to make.

Simmons, 26, hasn’t played since the All-Star break.

“I don't care if we just met yesterday,” Spencer Dinwiddie said of personnel. “Like 40 points is unacceptable. It's as simple as that.”

Jacque Vaughn has four players to integrate while trying to keep his incumbents in their previous grooves. It's not been easy to do.

This season, we saw 20 trades happen between Jan. 23, when the Lakers acquired Rui Hachimura, and Thursday’s deadline. And time will reveal the lasting impact of each move. Will they result in championships? Will anyone be fired over them? One of my favorite traditions is to look back at the previous year’s deadline, see how we felt about the trades at the time and update those assessments. With the benefit of hindsight, we can see if any or all were as meaningful or meaningless as we believed. Were long-term investments or sacrifices worth it? Did the playoff-push rentals pay off?

One year ago, the Nets had Durant, Kyrie Irving and James Harden on the roster. They're gone now and Brooklyn's future is as messy as ever.

Thomas scored 43 in Monday's loss to become the youngest player in NBA history to score 40 or more points in three straight games.

The Nets have lost six out of their last eight games after Thursday’s defeat by the Detroit Pistons.

Wednesday’s game had it all for a late January contest. “It was like it was a party. It was just hilarious,” Doc Rivers said.
