Is Ben Simmons Playing Tonight vs Hornets?: Nets Release Injury Report on 6ft 10" star

Suddenly the Brooklyn Nets are arguably the best team in the NBA. The franchise has won all of its last 10 games, going on a frightening win streak in the process. And what’s more is, they don’t look even close to done with their rampage.

If there was any blemish during this run, it was the sudden scare for Ben Simmons.

At the time fans feared the worst, worrying that his back injury had returned to haunt the player. However, it was later reported that the Nets star had only gotten sick with a non-covid illness.

Still, the latest on his situation could dictate whether he can truly recover soon enough to match up against LaMelo Ball and company.

So, what do the latest reports on the matter say?

ESPN injury report on Ben Simmons gives fans some encouragement

With illnesses such as the one Ben Simmons caught, the player isn’t usually expected to miss too much time. In fact, in several cases, they make a quick enough recovery to even play the very next game.

But, is that the case with Ben Simmons? Or will the Nets be without his talents against the Hornets?

As per ESPN, the 6’10” man is ‘probable’ to play against LaMelo Ball and company tonight, a massive boost considering how good the Hornets can be on offense, on their day.

The likely presence of Big Ben will likely stop any advances from the lowly lottery team despite their star point guard.

If everything plays out as expected this is highly likely to be a blowout victory in favor of the Nets.
