” As we speak, there’s a big chance he’s playing [la Coupe du monde]. So said Brian Goorjian, the Australian coach, last May, about Ben Simmons. However, no announcement has been made in this regard since.
News about him is rare. With the exception of the publication of a photo series on instagram where the Nets player appears during an intense bodybuilding session. It also seems to have taken the mass.
“ It’s still weeks away, but from what I’ve heard he’s taking care of his body and getting back to the shape and health everyone wants him to be. », informs today Patty Millsclose to the player since they were children.
” For him, it is above all a question of getting to what he can become Ben again. It’s obvious he’s planning a full offseason of rehabilitation, wholesome workouts both in the gym and on the pitch. From what I heard, he looks fine, he feels fine, but we’ll see how we go from there. “, Continues the leader of the Nets.
We will understand from his statement that the potential presence of his compatriot, who takes care of his back, in selection remains very vague. That’s why Australia have decided to give the former Sixers player plenty of time. Until August even, despite the approach of the international meeting.
Ben Simmons or not, the third basketball nation in the world (in the FIBA rankings) will be eagerly awaited in Asia. ” We tried so hard to become an international power. You have all the European teams, obviously the United States, but Australia in the men’s are coming on the scene and trying to achieve great things “posts Patty Mills.
