In the current NBA season, the most headlined news was about the trade deal between the Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers where both franchisees traded their key-guard players, Ben Simmons and James Harden.

Perkins stated, “They do need Ben Simmons, but what version of Ben Simmons? That’s the part we fail to realize. We haven’t seen Ben Simmons play since last June.”
The Nets fans are yet to see Simmons on the court in their infamous black and white jersey. The reason for this is still unanswered. But on last Friday Nets coach Steve Nash revealed Simmons has a herniated disk on his back and he is still recovering from it.
Nash said, “He hasn’t practiced for us yet, he’s done some individual workouts, then he had the flare-up. So that’s the next step. That’s the step he hasn’t gotten back to yet, is individual on-court workouts.”
