Today's Brooklyn Nets continue their NBA regular season journey against the Memphis Grizzlies. In this game, many Nets players were suspended due to injuries, such as Dragic and Seth Curry. As a result, Durant and Irving's playing time has increased significantly.
In fact, the Nets did not care much about the outcome of this game, and they looked further. On Irving's 30th birthday, the Nets had good news that New York had relaxed the control of people without needles, and Irving could return to the home game as soon as four days later, that is, against the Charlotte Hornets on March 28.
With the playoffs approaching and Irving back in the home game, it will be helpful for the Nets to improve their regular season rankings, and the playoffs will be more confident. In addition, the Nets have better news, that is, their strong signing Ben Simmons is about to make a comeback.
In a mid-season trade for Harden, Simmons was sent to the Nets, but he didn't play a game all season and needed to recover and recover from various injuries. The Nets weren't in a hurry to get Simmons back either, hoping he was completely healthy and familiar with the team's playing style.
Today, Nets coach Nash gave his opinion, saying that Simmons is receiving injection treatment, which will allow him to recover as soon as possible. In addition to the back injury, Simmons also needs to do more preparation for the game. As for Simmons' comeback time, Nash thinks it will be during the playoffs.
However, Nash also said that Simmons needs to start from the bench, because the sudden inclusion of Simmons in the starting lineup may cause problems in the distribution of the ball. Simmons is also an All-Star, and if they can make a smooth comeback in the playoffs, the Nets will be a very dangerous team.
