Simmons started the Nets’ first six games this season (five of which were losses) and returned Monday from a knee injury.
In the two games since, both of which included Vaughn running the team, Simmons came off the bench and was alternated with Claxton. Charles Wenzelberg/New York Post“Especially with the second group, I think he’s done a good job, and he finished the game with the first group,” Vaughn said Friday at practice of Simmons, who shot 3-for-6 for six points, with nine rebounds and four assists Wednesday
Simmons, coming off back surgery and a season in which he never stepped on the court, is still searching for his role and confidence. The 26-year-old, who mostly has been used as a big man, has taken four shots outside of 10 feet, and has made one. “It’s tough. Teams load up on both of us, and it kind of makes their job easy when both of us are on the court,” said Claxton, who entered Friday as the NBA’s leader in field-goal percentage .
“He’s eager to play, so [getting] everybody back healthy is the main thing,” O’Neale said of Warren, who is coming off surgery for consecutive stress fractures in his left foot. The wing exited the loss to the Mavericks on Monday with a sprained left ankle and has not played since.
