Ben Simmons’ agent: ‘very excited about his ability to return to form next year’
Ben Simmons continues his rehab and his agent says he and Simmons are “very excited” about a “return to form” next season following his clearing a recent hurdle in his rehab.
“Ben has been cleared to progress to his next stage of his rehab and is progressing really well,” Simmons’ agent Bernie Lee told Brian Lewis Wednesday. “And we remain very excited about his ability to return to form next year.”
A return — presumably to his All-NBA and All-Defensive Team form he showed prior to sitting out the 2021-22 season then undergoing back surgery — would be a big deal for te Nets. Sean Marks has said getting him healthy and back on the court is the franchise’s top priority.
