Ben Simmons Questionable For Nets vs. Bucks With Left Calf Tightness
Simmons Has Been Dealing With Calf Soreness For Weeks
The Brooklyn Nets have added Ben Simmons to tonight's injury report as questionable with left calf tightness. Simmons has been dealing with calf soreness for weeks, and he missed the Nets' last game against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday. The Nets are scheduled to take on the Milwaukee Bucks tonight at Fiserv Forum.
Simmons Is A Key Part Of The Nets' Rotation
Simmons is a key part of the Nets' rotation, and his absence would be a big blow. The 6-foot-10 forward is averaging 7.4 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 6.4 assists per game this season. He is also one of the Nets' best defenders, and he is often tasked with guarding the opposing team's best player.
The Nets Are Already Without Kevin Durant
The Nets are already without Kevin Durant, who is out with a sprained MCL. Durant is the Nets' leading scorer and rebounder, and his absence has been a major blow to the team. The Nets have lost four of their last five games without Durant.
The Bucks Are One Of The Best Teams In The NBA
The Bucks are one of the best teams in the NBA, and they are currently in first place in the Eastern Conference. The Bucks have won 10 of their last 12 games, and they are one of the favorites to win the NBA championship this season.
The Nets Will Need To Play Well To Win
The Nets will need to play well to win tonight's game against the Bucks. The Bucks are a tough matchup for the Nets, and they will be without two of their best players in Durant and Simmons. However, the Nets have shown that they can win without Durant, and they will be looking to do so again tonight.
