Simmons ended with zero points (0-3 FG), four rebounds, eight assists and one block across 22 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 loss to the Knicks. There's no question that the Nets need more from Simmons on the offensive end of the court, and the Australian went scoreless in a game that could've easily had a different outcome had he been more aggressive on offense. Simmons has failed to reach double-digit points in each of his 10 games this season, and his lack of scoring prowess certainly undermines his fantasy value. He's averaging 7.0 assists, 5.8 rebounds and a combined 1.3 steals and blocks per game, but he's scoring a career-low 5.3 points per contest.

Ben Simmons Latest News
Goes scoreless vs. New York
Simmons ended with zero points (0-3 FG), four rebounds, eight assists and one block across 22 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 loss to the Knicks. There's no question that the Nets need more from Simmons on the offensive end of the court, and the Australian went scoreless in a game that could've easily had a different outcome had he been more aggressive on offense. Simmons has failed to reach double-digit points in each of his 10 games this season, and his lack of scoring prowess certainly undermines his fantasy value. He's averaging 7.0 assists, 5.8 rebounds and a combined 1.3 steals and blocks per game, but he's scoring a career-low 5.3 points per contest.
Starting Friday
Simmons is in the Nets' starting lineup for Friday's game against the Knicks, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports. Simmons will return Friday from a one-game absence due to calf tightness, and he will start at center as Nic Claxton is sidelined due to a lower back strain. Across his six starts this season, Simmons has averaged 5.8 points, 6.2 assists and 6.0 rebounds over 24.5 minutes per game.
Good to go Friday
Simmons (calf) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Knicks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports. Simmons will return to action Friday after missing Brooklyn's previous contest with left calf tightness. If Nic Claxton (back) is downgraded from questionable to out, Simmons could be in store for a start against the Knicks.
Imaging comes back clean
An MRI on Simmon's left calf came back clean Thursday and he could play in Friday's game versus the Knicks, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports. Simmons missed Brooklyn's previous contest with left calf tightness but has returned to working out. While fantasy managers should look out for an official injury report clarifying Simmons' status for Friday's game, it wouldn't be surprising for the Nets to play it cautiously with the 28-year-old.
Unavailable Wednesday
Simmons (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Boston, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports. Simmons will miss his third contest of Brooklyn's last five games after posting six points, five rebounds and 12 assists in Monday's win over New Orleans. Previously he was dealing with a back injury, so his ongoing calf tightness will need to be monitored.
Iffy for Wednesday
Simmons is questionable for Wednesday's game against Boston due to left calf tightness. Simmons was a very late addition to the injury report which is always a concern. Given how cautious the Nets are with Simmons, it wouldn't be a surprise to see them hold the point forward out Wednesday evening. If that's the case, players such as Cam Thomas and Dennis Schroder could receive usage rate bumps, while Jalen Wilson and Keon Johnson could step into larger roles.
Dishes out 12 assists
Simmons closed with six points (3-5 FG), five rebounds, 12 assists and two steals across 22 minutes during Monday's 107-105 win over New Orleans. Simmons has yet to score in double figures so far this year, but he recorded a season-high 12 assists in his lightest workload of the 2024-25 campaign. The 28-year-old has come off the bench in two straight games and will likely remain in that role following Nic Claxton's return from injury.
Will play Monday
Simmons (back) will be available for Monday's game against the Pelicans. Simmons was sidelined for the second leg of the Nets' back-to-back set Saturday against the Cavaliers due to injury management for his back. He'll suit up for Monday's game, though he'll likely come off the bench as Nic Claxton has started at center in three straight games. Through seven regular-season games, Simmons is averaging 6.1 points, 6.4 assists and 6.1 rebounds over 24.9 minutes per game.
Fills box score in reserve role
Simmons tallied eight points (4-6 FG), eight assists, seven rebounds and one steal over 27 minutes in Friday's 108-104 overtime loss to the Celtics. After starting in each of his six appearances during the regular season, Simmons shifted to a reserve role Friday as Nic Claxton started at center for a second straight game. Simmons still managed to get his minutes and finished the contest with a team-high eight dimes. Simmons has yet to reach double-digit scoring this season, but he's managed to log at least five rebounds in all seven of his outings. It's worth noting that Simmons won't play in Saturday's matchup against the Cavaliers due to injury management, according to Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com.
