Via the NY Post:
During a reevaluation on Friday, injured Nets point forward Ben Simmons was found to have a nerve impingement in his back.
Until the Nets decide on the most effective long-term course of treatment, Simmons will continue to be out.
Yet with only nine regular-season games remaining and the Nets having stumbled into the play-in, it seems almost probable that the 26-year-old Simmons won’t play again until next year.
Simmons said in November that it would take him an entire year and a half to fully heal from a nerve injury.
