Absent for more than a year from the NBA floors, Ben Simmons should normally be operational with the Nets for the recovery. The player finally hopes to revive after a lot of mockery, even if he has just learned sad news. Not enough to give him confidence before a very important season.
It’s been more than a year since Ben Simmons walked the court with the Sixers, with a loss in the playoffs against the Hawks. Since ? Not much, except a lot of dramas. The Australian was due to make his debut for the Nets last postseason, but a last-minute injury ruined his plans, and sparked mockery from fans. In a few weeks, the interested party will finally have the opportunity to revive.
It is not yet 100% confirmed, but Simmons should indeed be present on the courts for the recovery at the end of September. The Nets will meet again for training camp, with some pressure for this workforce, especially after the Kevin Durant soap opera. The good news ? The roster remains of quality, even more so if Simmons finds its best level. But all is not perfect either.
Mixed preparation for Ben Simmons at the Nets?
Because things happen off the court, like in the case of Simmons now. We know that he rubbed shoulders with Kendall Jenner in the past, but today he is with Maya Jama, or at least was. We just learned via the NY Post that the two lovebirds have ended their engagement. A blow for Simmons, especially as the recovery is approaching for the player.

A blow for the player, who may have to console himself with basketball. A big comeback is coming with the Nets, who will be under some pressure to win the title, not to mention Simmons. The former Sixer is expected at the turn after so many galleys:
Doing whatever he can to avoid a ring

He does what he has to do to avoid the ring
No marriage for Ben Simmons, who will now focus on the NBA season. He is expected by the fans and by the Nets, who are counting on him to find his best level, and thus help the franchise for the title. It promises.
