Ben Simmons's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

According to Brooklyn Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez, Ben Simmons will take over as the team's "full-time point guard" moving ahead after the recent trade involving Dennis Schroder. Not only that, but Fernandez wants the Nets to play faster, with Simmons in charge of pushing the pace. The 28-year-old was once one of the league's most promising players. However, he hasn't been the same in recent years, currently averaging 5.1 points, 6.5 assists, and 5.6 rebounds. But with Simmons focusing on one position, at least most of the time, there's a chance he could improve on the scoring end. If anything, his assist numbers should increase. With that in mind, Simmons will need to stay healthy, which has been a challenge. Still, the latest update from Fernandez could mean good things for the former LSU Tiger for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign.

According to Brooklyn Nets beat reporter Erik Slater, guard Ben Simmons (back) is available to play against the Indiana Pacers on Wednesday. Simmons sat out Monday's game against the Bulls for back-injury management. In his most recent appearance against the Orlando Magic on Sunday, the veteran guard logged 12 minutes, collecting five assists, two rebounds, and one steal. However, he was held scoreless in the contest.

Brooklyn Nets guard Ben Simmons (back) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Indiana Pacers, but reports indicate he is expected to play. Simmons sat out Monday's game against the Bulls for back injury management, but the team seems hopeful about his availability. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status ahead of tip-off. In his most recent appearance against the Orlando Magic, the veteran guard logged 12 minutes, dishing out five assists but going scoreless.

Brooklyn Nets guard/centerBen Simmons(back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Simmons played 13 minutes before exiting Sunday's game against the Magic due to a left knee contusion. His knee is not mentioned on the team's injury report, so he's likely not suiting up due to maintenance related to his back. Brooklyn will also have Dorian Finney-Smith(ankle)and Ziaire Williams(knee) missing in action.

Brooklyn Nets guard/center Ben Simmons (injury management) will be rested on Monday versus Golden State. He hasn't played in both legs of a back-to-back this season, and Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez said ahead of Sunday's game against Sacramento that Simmons will be out for injury management purposes on Monday. Hopefully, with a rest day confirmed for him, we will see a big performance from Simmons against the Kings, especially with Dennis Schroder (ankle) sidelined. Keon Johnson will likely receive a much larger workload if both players miss Monday's action.
