Ben Simmons is out again for the Brooklyn Nets. Simmons has suffered a reaggravation of the left lower-back nerve impingement that has caused him to previously miss time. Simmons had been designated as out with left leg soreness, but that soreness is being cause by the back injury.

Nets interim head coach Kevin Ollie said that there was no new injury for Simmons, nor was there an updated timetable for his return.

"No. We were just trying to get to the source of it and that’s why the change of the wording was," Ollie said. "But he’s still day-to-day, he’s still on the court, and hopefully we can get him back soon and get him ready for this playoff push that we have in March and April."
