Ben Simmons B. Simmons

Ben Simmons (knee) out for Nets until at least Monday

Brooklyn Nets forward Ben Simmons will not play on Friday versus the Washington Wizards or Saturday versus the Charlotte Hornets.

What It Means:

Simmons was also absent the last two games and his next chance to play will be on Monday versus the Dallas Mavericks. Seth Curry (knee) will remain out for the front end of the Nets' back-to-back and Kyrie Irving is suspended, so Joe Harris will likely make another start and there will be more minutes for Yuta Watanabe and Edmond Sumner.

Simmons has a 13.1% usage rate this season and is averaging 27.6 FanDuel points per game with 6.2 points, 6.5 rebounds, 7.3 assists, and 1.2 steals. His previous career-low for scoring was 14.3 points per game last season.
