The Nets say the key for them to make the jump to the next level isn’t getting an All-Star but getting their own lone All-Star healthy.
Brooklyn has just one All-Star on the roster, and Simmons is it.
“If he was 35 years old, I wouldn’t be honestly be able to tell you that. But knowing that he’s mid-20s and he has still, hopefully, not reached his prime, we’re going to make sure he can get back out there and get back to that form. And hopefully we see his game even evolve past that. But health is going to be the key to him.”They traded James Harden for Simmons in February 2022, and he’s only played 42 games for them, none since Feb. 15 due to a bad back.
For a compromised and inconsistent reclamation project who mustered just 6.9 points and got benched last season, it’s an albatross.
