Nets' Ben Simmons: Good to go for training camp
Simmons (back) will participate in the Nets' training camp beginning Oct. 1 without any restrictions, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.
Simmons underwent a microscopic partial discectomy to alleviate nerve impingement in his lower back in March but appears to have made a full recovery. The 28-year-old guard made just 15 appearances, including 12 starts, for Brooklyn in 2023-24, averaging 6.1 points, 7.9 rebounds and 5.7 assists in 23.9 minutes. While injuries will always be a concern for Simmons, he could be heavily featured for a rebuilding Nets team in 2024-25.

Nets' Ben Simmons: On track for training camp
Nets general manager Sean Marks said Wednesday that "all signs point to" Simmons (back) being available to start next season's training camp, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.
Simmons underwent a successful microscopic partial discectomy in mid-March to alleviate the nerve impingement in his lower back, marking yet another injury-related setback for the 2017 No. 1 overall pick. The 27-year-old has played in only 57 games across the last three seasons, but when available, he has shown he can still be an active defender and excellent playmaker. Simmons has one more year remaining on his current contract, a five-year extension he signed with Philadelphia in 2019.
