Ben Simmons ‘100 percent’ healthy
Brooklyn’s Ben Simmons continues to progress toward a return to the court. Simmons has completed the rehab portion of his offseason and is now solely focused on skill work and conditioning as he prepares for 2023-24 training camp, league sources familiar with the matter told SNY. Simmons, who turned 27 earlier this month, is 100 percent healthy and still expects to be a full participant on the first day of Nets training camp, those sources say. They add that Simmons hasn’t encountered any setbacks over the course of the summer.

More on this storyline
Both Simmons and the Nets hoped the surgery would help him get back on the court, but the three-time All-Star was limited to 42 games (33 starts) last season due to injury. He missed the final six weeks of the season due to a nerve impingement in his back. But Simmons and the Nets feel optimism about their approach this offseason as Simmons enters the fourth year of his five-year extension. -via SportsNet New York / July 27, 2023
