Ben Simmons returned to action last NBA season after he missed the entire 2021–22 season because of physical and mental health concerns.
However, the Nets guard struggled on the court, appearing in just 42 games, including 33 starts, due to injuries. His first season with the Nets ended prematurely on Feb. 15 because of knee and back issues.
In a recent interview with ESPN’s Marc J. Spears, Simmons candidly admitted that looking back at all his struggles in recent years has been overwhelming, but it’s motivated him to keep getting better.
