The Brooklyn Nets are struggling, and it’s no secret. Despite having a star-studded lineup, the Nets are 3-17 in their last 20 games. With Kevin Durant back, things were expected to get better, but unfortunately, they haven’t. Despite having KD back, the Nets have gone 0-2 in their last two. The more games they lose, the louder the noise arises for Ben Simmons’ return.
As Ben Simmons prepared to hit the floor for the first time this season, his return was delayed with a back injury. Now, he’s expected to be out for another week or so, before he finally puts steps foot on the court for the Nets. Even before he takes the floor as a Net, Ben Simmons has a history with one player on the team: Blake Griffin. Despite never having played a single game together, the two share more history than any other two players on the Nets’ roster.
