As with Kawhi Leonard, Ben Simmons’ return to business isn’t quite going as planned. In difficulty over the first six games of the season, the Australian has been stuck in the infirmary for three games.
Blame it on his knee, which he had to have drained to deflate it. The good news is that the MRI passed in stride by the former All-Star of the Sixers did not reveal anything serious.
“Last seen he was with the medical team trying to reduce the swelling”, explained interim coach Jacque Vaughnwho recalled that Ben Simmons would not play tonight against Charlotte. “And it’s not sure yet for Dallas (Monday). He’s still in Brooklyn at the moment. We will get in touch with the medical team. We hope he’s better and we’ll see if he joins us in Dallas. »
The good news is that Seth Curry should return to him for tonight’s game against Charlotte.
