With the 2024-25 NBA season on the horizon, the Brooklyn Nets are anticipating Ben Simmons to rediscover his top performance. Following years of struggling with back injuries, Simmons seems revitalized during training camp. Before their preseason game against the Los Angeles Clippers, the ex-All-Star talked about the challenges he faced last season and his preparedness to perform at a top level. “I am prepared to perform well physically,” Simmons stated, showing his belief in his current fitness level.
Overcoming Injury Struggles
During the previous season, Simmons only played in 15 games due to a nerve impingement from a herniated disc. Looking back on that time, he acknowledged, “I wasn’t fully committed… but in the end, I ended up here, and this is where I’m at now.” Simmons was benched twice due to his back injury, but after a lengthy rehabilitation, he is now more ready than ever to make a valuable contribution to the team.
New Approach After Surgery
After his second back surgery in May, Simmons and his medical team implemented a new rehabilitation method that has displayed encouraging outcomes. When questioned about the possibility of a different result this season, Simmons expressed positivity: “I feel much more liberated.” I experienced no obstacles during the rehabilitation process, which was the most encouraging aspect for me. It informs me that the operation was a success.
Looking Ahead for Simmons and the Nets
Now that Ben Simmons appears to have overcome his health problems. He is ready to take charge of the Nets in the upcoming season. The comeback of the three-time All-Star could have a significant impact on Brooklyn’s push to succeed in the Eastern Conference. Simmons will be closely watched to determine if this season signals his return.
