There's optimism Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons -- out for nearly two and a half months -- could return to the lineup as soon as Monday against the Utah Jazz, sources told ESPN.
Simmons is expected to practice with the organization's Long Island G League affiliate over the weekend, and barring a setback, his return could come on Monday, sources said.
Simmons, who has been out since November 6 with a lower back nerve impingement, has played only six games this season for the Nets. He's averaged a career-low 6.
