Although Ben Simmons was at one point rumored to be targeting a return with the Nets facing elimination in their opening round playoff series against the Celtics, that turned out not to be the case as Brooklyn ruled him out shortly before Game 4.
In fact, Simmons wasn’t even on the team’s bench once tip-off came around on Monday night.
The Nets point guard has been hard to miss on the sidelines through the first few games as he’s been seen sporting a number of colorful outfits. However, he was not on the bench during Monday’s game in Brooklyn.
