Nets’ Ben Simmons plans to come back Friday against the Atlanta Hawks
Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons said that he is planning to come back for Friday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks, according to Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News. Simmons has missed the past three games with a left calf injury.
Simmons has missed eight games so far this season because of injuries. He missed the first five games because of left knee soreness.
As part of the Nets’ big three along with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, Simmons is expected to contribute significantly for the Nets. It took him awhile, but in Simmons 10th game this season, against the Sacramento Kings, he had his first big game of the season with 11 points, five rebounds, and three assists while displaying a confidence that had been missing up to that point.
