Nets’ Ben Simmons injury update stemmed from same old ailment
NY Post
The official designation of Ben Simmons’ injury has changed, but his actual ailment is the same.
The Nets’ point guard missed Monday’s 106-102 loss to Memphis with what was listed as a left lower-back nerve impingement after having initially been designated as leg soreness.
But the leg issues are stemming from the long-standing impingement, which is why the team updated the listing.
A source close to Simmons told The Post that the three-time All-Star did not suffer a new impingement, that this is the same one that plagued him earlier.
He hasn’t gotten any new imaging (e.g. MRI, X-ray) and isn’t expected to; nor has he received any more shots.
Asked if the Nets had any new update on Simmons, interim coach Kevin Ollie said there wasn’t.
